Prepare for OT school with our Pre-Occupational Therapy program at Concordia University Chicago. Explore career opportunities and apply today!

The pre-occupational therapy program at CUC prepares you for OT school, where you’ll help people gain the skills they need to function independently. Whether a patient suffers from physical or psychological limitations, an OT can give them the skills needed for daily living and working. OTs can work in a variety of settings such as schools, hospitals, outpatient clinics, nursing homes and more. Concordia University Chicago’s pre-occupational therapy program is not major, but includes sequences of foundational and prerequisite courses for entry into graduate professional study in occupational therapy. Students may choose any major, as long as they complete the required prerequisite courses for admission to occupational therapy school. However, the suggested pathway to a graduate program in occupational therapy is the Bachelor of Science in health science, as this will cover the most prerequisites. Because graduate program prerequisites vary from institution to institution, students must check directly with them for exact clinical hours and admission criteria.
