Program Description
Designed for high school graduates that are interested in pursuing a career in occupational therapy. This program provides an accelerated degree path that shortens the time to graduation by one full year, while still delivering a high-quality educational experience that couples both classroom and clinical based educational experiences necessary to earn a Bachelor’s of Science in exercise science and a doctorate in occupational therapy. The exercise science aspect will provide graduates with foundational knowledge in science, anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and exercise prescription
