ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

The prospective student must be accepted for admission to USI before completing a separate process to this program. The program selects students for admission to the OTA Program on the basis of:

• Admission to University.
• Completion of OTA Core Curriculum and minimum GPA of 2.7 on a 4.0 scale.
• Submission of an application to the OTA Program by January 20 of year planning to be admitted to the fall class.
• Interview with Occupational Therapists Admission Committee.
• Submission of a writing sample.
• The selection of students for admission to the program is based on a combination score that includes the standardized interview with occupational therapists and cumulative GPA. Thirty students with the highest scores will be admitted to the OTA program.

Student applicants must show capability of fulfilling clinical practice requirements, eligibility for occupational therapy practitioner credentialing and evidence of satisfactory health status. Please note: A felony conviction (this includes documentation of driving under the influence – DUI) may negatively impact a prospective student’s eligibility to sit for the NBCOT certification examination or attain state practice credentials. Contact the OTA Program for further information.
