2021-2022 Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]

Occupational Therapy, AA

PLEASE NOTE: The following curriculum is based on requirements at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. It is a doctoral-level program that requires a bachelor’s degree, so students should pick a relevant academic major in order to complete appropriate coursework requirements. “Pre-OT” is NOT an academic major! Admission to any OT program is extremely competitive and usually requires observation hours along with a superb academic record. Specific requirements for schools can vary widely. Students should check with the occupational therapy program of their choice for a current list of application requirements.

Program Requirements

The following advisement plan is a recommended course of study. An academic advisor may alter course sequence to meet individual student needs.

Note(s):

1Students that can bypass College Algebra and begin directly in Trigonometry are advised to do so. Additional math courses (other than the statistics requirement) may be required, depending upon a student’s chosen academic major.

2Social science and humanities course recommendations will depend upon a student’s chosen academic major. Additional psychology courses are recommended by UMMC, so students can consider PSY 2513 - Child Psychology  and/or PSY 2523 - Adolescent Psychology .

3Additional science courses may be required for a student’s chosen major. UMMC recommends advanced science coursework and specifically requires 3-5 hours of physical or biological science at the 3000-level or above (to be completed at the student’s 4-year institution).
