Three + One Program with a Major in Biology
This program is designed to allow a student to apply to the Occupational Therapy (OT) program during the junior year. If a student is admitted, the senior year will be the first year in the Occupational Therapy program. Eight (8) hours of the first year in the OT program will count toward completion of the hours required for a major in Biology (32 hours). The other 21 hours will count toward the hours required for graduation with a B.S. degree with a major in Biology. No minor will be required with this option. The student will continue the studies toward their Doctor of Occupational Therapy degree.
