Pre-Occupational Therapy Program

Special Undergraduate Academic and Co-Curricular Programs

Rockhurst University offers a 5.5 accelerated Occupational Therapy Fast Track program. Students interested in the accelerated program need to contact the Department of Occupational Therapy Education early in their academic studies, notifying them of their intent. Students earn a bachelor’s degree in a field other than occupational therapy along with completing prerequisite coursework for entry into the graduate program. Students then remain in close contact with their undergraduate and pre-OT advisor to assure completion of program requirements for application to the MOT program. Students can opt out of the Fast Track program and complete their undergraduate education before beginning the MOT program. Please refer to the graduate section of the University Catalog for more information on the Occupational Therapy graduate degree.
