Occupational Therapy Program Curriculum

Ithaca College's Occupational Therapy Program is a five year, entry level masters program. After completing the Senior Year, students will receive a Bachelors in Occupational Science. They will then be eligible to continue on to their Graduate Year. Once students complete the Graduate Year, they are eligible to licensure or certification.

Students must maintain a grade of at least C- in all professional courses, including major courses and required courses outside the major. To be eligible for automatic progression into the Graduate Year, students must have completed the B.S. program with a cumulative GPA or 3.00 or better. Students who have a GPA below 3.00 but equal to or above 2.7 will be required to pass a comprehensive examination to advance into the Graduate Year
