For all impacted undergraduate programs, applicants must apply to the University during the initial filing period of October and November for the following fall semester or August for the following spring semester. Applicants must indicate their choice of major on the application. All eligible applicants will be rank ordered by eligibility indices for freshmen and overall transfer GPA for upper division transfer students and admission offers will be made in descending order based on space availability. For continuing students who seek to change majors to an impacted undergraduate program, they will be subject to the same criteria for admission to the impacted major as transfer students.
To be accepted into the BS/MS Occupational Therapy program and enroll in Occupational Therapy courses, please see additional criteria.
The Pattern I curriculum is designed for undergraduate students to facilitate entrance into a one-year Master of Science program. It enables the student to obtain the education and degrees necessary to be eligible to practice as an occupational therapist. Once the Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degree in occupational therapy is completed, the student is eligible to sit for the national certification and state licensure.
Applications for the Pattern I BS/MS Program will be accepted in April 2012.
