Transfer Opportunities

The occupational therapy program accepts qualified current Ithaca College students as internal transfers into the combined BS/MS or BS/OTD program. This is subject to space availability in the desired cohort. Current Ithaca College students may apply to transfer into the occupational therapy program in any semester up to the fall of the junior year in the program. Please note that changing majors may require you to take additional coursework and spend additional semester(s) on campus to be on track in our program. 

To be considered, internal candidates need to complete an application and meet with a faculty member in the occupational therapy department. Please email ot@ithaca.edu to request application materials and learn more about the process.

Students should review the curriculum requirements of the BS degree with a faculty member in the occupational therapy department. This will help determine which of their current courses will fulfill requirements and identify outstanding requirements.

Please note that some courses may have prerequisites or other requirements (e.g. math placement score).  

A curriculum worksheet for the occupational therapy program can be used by students who are considering applying for transfer to the program as a general, unofficial guide to help determine which courses might need to be taken prior to transfer. Please contact ot@Ithaca.edu for the worksheet.

Students currently enrolled at another institution should contact the occupational therapy department ot@ithaca.edu or the Office of Admissions admission@ithaca.edu for details regarding the external transfer process.
