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.
