A Two-Year Transfer Program Leading to the A.S. Degree

This program provides the first two years of general education and supportive courses for application to occupational therapy programs. IUPUI only admits baccalaureate students to its new MS OT program. The University of Southern Indiana in Evansville admits students into its BS/MS in OT1 program as juniors after two years of prerequisite courses. USI occupational therapy students complete an additional two and one-half years (including three summers) of courses and internships to earn the BS/MS in OT degree. Upon completion of the BS/MS in OT degree and appropriate qualifying examinations, the occupational therapist will be prepared to work with physicians, physical and speech therapists, psychologists, and other specialists to plan therapeutic activity programs. Completion of the A.S. degree in Pre-Occupational Therapy does not guarantee admittance into a BS/MS in OT program.
