Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: List of Majors, Minors, Certificates and Special Programs

This program is no longer admitting students as freshmen as of Fall 2018. 

This program option is designed to obtain the MOT degree in combination with a previously earned bachelor’s degree in a related area. In process of earning the MOT degree, students will obtain a required concentration in Human Occupation Studies (HOCS) in preparation for graduate coursework in occupational therapy. Prior to admission into the MOT degree program, prerequisite courses must be completed or in process. Transfer students who have a bachelor’s degree in a related field generally have 6 semesters of academic coursework and one summer course plus a post-academic fieldwork internship to complete to meet Xavier University’s requirements for the MOT degree. Xavier accepts equivalent transfer credit work from other regionally accredited institutions of higher education for prerequisite coursework.

Requirements for the Pre-MOT to MOT


 

Note(s):


  • Earn no more than two “C” or lower letter grades in each course.
