Pre-Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapists do rehabilitation work to help patients with injuries or disabilities. The OT focuses on improving the patient’s ability to do day-to-day activities, often working in a clinical setting but increasingly in a patient’s home. Upon completion of a bachelor’s degree, you may choose to pursue either a master’s or doctoral degree in Occupational Therapy. Both degrees educate you to be an effective clinician; however, the doctoral degree prepares you to conduct research in occupational therapy, helping patients through discovery of new techniques and treatment.

Pre-Physical Therapy

Physical therapy, or PT, is a branch of medicine that helps patients recover from physical injury. It focuses on correct movement of the body for the best mobility, function, and quality of life for patients of all activity levels. To become a physical therapist, you’ll need to first obtain a bachelor’s degree. Applied Human and Sport Physiology or Biology are recommended programs of study. After getting your bachelor’s degree, you’ll be ready to enter a professional Physical Therapy program at graduate school to obtain your Physical Therapy degree.
