What Undergraduate Major Should You Select?
Students may major in any discipline in their undergraduate program. In addition to
degree requirements for the chosen major, students interested in pursuing a graduate
degree in Occupational Therapy must complete a variety of prerequisite coursework.
It is important that you refer to the programs that you are interested in applying

to learn about prerequisite requirements. The °µÍø½ûÇø OT prerequisite
requirements can be found on the OT Admissions web page.

As with all pre-health students, we advise that you consider career options available to you when you select your undergraduate major.
