Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy] From Saint Louis University

Offered at the Doisy College of Health Sciences, Saint Louis University's undergraduate degree in occupational science prepares you for a Master of Occupational Therapy degree, the minimum educational requirement to become a licensed occupational therapist.

SLU's occupational science and occupational therapy program is divided into two phases: a three-year pre-professional phase during your freshman, sophomore and junior years, followed by a two-year professional phase starting your senior year. Students who meet all program requirements after the junior year can enter directly into SLU's Master of Occupational Therapy program, earning both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in five years.

SLU pre-OT students are matched with a faculty mentor who supports their professional development. Undergraduate students have opportunities to conduct research and produce projects and papers acceptable for publication and presentation at professional conferences.
