How to Apply:
Master of Science in Occupational Therapy - Entry Level
Along with your completed application accompanied by $50 non-refundable application fee, you’ll need to provide a few supporting materials. Because there’s lead time required for some items, here’s a step-by-step process that seems to work best for candidates:
Order your official transcript(s). Official transcript(s) indicating that the applicant has earned an appropriate baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university. Transcripts from all institutions are required. A cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale for all previous undergraduate and graduate work is required for full acceptance.
Three letters of recommendation. Letters are accepted from former professors, employers, or supervisors familiar with the applicant’s professional experiences, or from religious or community leaders.
Personal Statement. One-page personal statement
that summarizes the value of the program of graduate study for his/her
personal and professional growth and development.
Additional Evidence of potential for success. Items such as academic or professional awards, special certifications, samples of scholarly or creative work, and completion of specialized examinations. (not required, but encouraged)
Complete your online or paper application. While you wait for your transcripts to be processed, you can begin your online application,
which lets you build, edit and save sections of your application along
the way. Or you can apply with our downloadable MSOT application.
