Do I need to major in OT...

Applying to College

<p>Do I need to have a bachelor's degree in occupational therapy in order to go on to get my Master's in OT? Or can I major in something else? (as long as I have the prereqs)</p>

<p>As long as you have the pre-reqs you can apply to the graduate programs.</p>

<p>If you are serious about this profession, talk with a couple of people who are working in the field and get their thoughts on the best way to start. They will have useful ideas for you.</p>

<p>If you are serious about OT, investigate it now. </p>

<p>Apply for a 5 year program. For a reasonably priced state school, try SUNY Buffalo. Don’t know of other state schools or their costs for OOS, but I’d check it out. Even if $$$ do not matter, I’d still recommend a state U. No need to go private and spend the extra $$. The OT license in the end will get you the job!!!</p>
