Pre-Occupational Therapy Track
Is a career in occupational therapy for you?
Occupational Therapists help people of all ages live fuller, more independent lives by supporting their physical, cognitive, emotional and environmental needs.
Our Pre-Occupational Therapy pathway in Healthcare Sciences gives you a strong start toward a Master’s or Doctoral OT program through courses in anatomy, psychosocial foundations, biomechanics, evidence-based practice, interprofessional education and the social and cultural factors that shape daily life and participation.
What Makes This Pathway Stand Out?
- Hands-on experience: Gain early exposure to real OT settings and observe how therapists empower clients in daily life.
- Skills that matter: Build strengths in holistic thinking, creativity, communication and understanding the whole person.
- Confidence for the next step: Graduate prepared to succeed in a Master’s or Doctor of Occupational Therapy program.
Unique options exist for the motivated and disciplined candidate:
Direct Admit and SOAR provide commitments to automatic interviews for UIW’s Occupational Therapy Doctorate degree.
If you’re passionate about helping people live meaningful, independent lives, this pathway is your first step. Start your journey today!
