Re: liu ot program
B.S./M.S. Occupational Therapy degree program offered by Long Island University presents an excellent opportunity for high school students who want to pursue a degree in Occupational Therapy. One can complete a B.S./M.S. degree in Occupational Therapy in 5 years (2 years for the completion of the pre-requisites and 3 years for the professional phase of the program). Admission Requirements: One must have a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 on a scale of 4.0. A 3.0 minimum cumulative grade-point average also is preferred in the prerequisite science courses in order to be considered for an interview. • Overall GPA is determined by evaluating all transcripts and courses taken during your undergraduate studies. • Overall GPA would need to be a 3.0 in both areas at the time of the admission committee’s review (January-February) in order to be considered for an interview • If overall GPA does not meet the above criteria consideration for an interview will be determined after all eligible candidates have been evaluated/ interviewed and based on class seat availability. • One’s science GPA is determined by looking at grades for 4 science courses it requires. (BIO 3, BIO 4, A & PI and A & P II). If one repeated any science course and took it at the same institution, the higher grade will replace the lower grade for the GPA calculations. If one repeated the course at a different institution then both grades are averaged in the GPA. • Science grades more than 10 years old are not acceptable. • Any repeated science courses will be noted on application and will be taken into consideration during final selection. Program Requirements Continued enrolment in this program is contingent upon: • Maintaining a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.0 on a scale of 4.0 per semester throughout the professional phase of the program. • Adhering to the AOTA Code of Ethics and the professional behavior standards in all interactions with faculty members, peers, clinical instructors and clients.
