PROGRAM GOAL: This program is designed to prepare students for upper division studies in occupational therapy. Admission to the upper division degree program is highly competitive, and a minimum GPA of 2.5 is required for application at most institutions. Some institutions have higher minimum GPA requirements for applicants. In addition to competitive grades, admissions to upper division programs and successful completion of the four-year degree, the prospective occupational therapist must complete a year of internship, during which they must pass a state professional certifying exam. Occupational therapists are employed by hospitals, schools and mental health facilities to help individuals who are impaired by physical illness, injury, psychological disorder, or developmental disability regain daily living skills and become self-sufficient. State universities having the upper division work include Florida A&M, Florida International University, and Florida Gulf Coast University. The University of Florida offers occupational therapy as a master's program only, as do may other universities. It is important that the student consult the catalog of the university to which transfer is planned.
