Program
Drexel’s Health Sciences Department and Occupational Therapy Department have partnered to offer a BS/MSOT sequential degree program to high achieving students enrolled in the Health Sciences program.
In the BS/MSOT Option, students first complete a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Health Sciences, then enroll into the 2-year Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (MSOT) program. Drexel Health Sciences students on the traditional 4-year BS degree track or the Accelerated 3-year BS degree track are able to pursue the Occupational Therapy Option. Upon completion of the MSOT program, students will sit for the national certification exam to become a Registered Occupational Therapist (OTR).
Admissions
The Occupational Therapy Department reserves four (4) seats in the MSOT program for eligible Drexel Health Sciences students. If more than four eligible students apply, they will enroll the top four candidates and consider other applicants with the total MSOT applicant pool.
To be considered for the BS/MSOT Program, Drexel Health Sciences students must meet the following criteria:
- Complete all undergraduate degree requirements in Health Sciences at Drexel University before enrolling into the Drexel MSOT program.
- Minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.25 on a 4.00 scale. Students who do not meet this criterion should consult with the Health Sciences Department Chair before applying to the MSOT program.
- Complete all admission requirements and prerequisites found on the Department of Occupational Therapy website.
