Pre-Occupational Therapy
Pre-Occupational Therapy Program Guide
Students interested in pursuing a career in occupational therapy have a number of undergraduate majors they can select from at CMU that will compliment a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy, including Recreational Therapy and Rehabilitation as well as Child Development and Psychology.
Students interested in OT should contact the OT advisor early in their first semester for guidance in selecting a major and identifying prerequisite coursework required for admission to a Master’s degree program at other institutions. CMU has articulation agreements with Grand Valley State University and Saginaw Valley State University. Contact the Pre-Occupational Therapy advisor for more information.
