Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Health Science: Pre-Occupational Therapy, Accelerated] From Idaho State University

This concentration area will prepare students to apply for early entrance into the ISU three-year Occupational Therapy Program. Students pursuing this concentration will complete General Education Objectives, the B.S. in Health Science Core courses, and the prerequisite courses for admission into the Occupational Therapy Program during the first three years and will apply for accelerated entry during the fall semester of the 3rd year.

Students who are accepted for accelerated entry (competitive and limited number) will complete the first pre-professional year of the Occupational Therapy Program, while concurrently completing the 4th and final year of the B.S. in Health Science. Students would then complete two more years within the graduate Master of Occupational Therapy Program. Students pursuing this concentration who are not accepted into the accelerated cohort may take additional courses during their 4th year to complete the B.S. in Health Science and apply to a graduate program in occupational therapy.
