Occupational Studies: B.S.
Earn a Bachelor's Degree in Occupational Studies
The baccalaureate degree in Occupational Studies will create a more highly skilled
occupational therapy assistant (OTA) who is better able to understand and utilize
research-based evidence for best practice and take on a leadership role. As an additional
benefit, it will prepare an OTA for entry into an Occupational Therapy (OT) Master’s
degree program. The upper division course work will provide more in-depth training
in specific areas of OT practice, including neurologic rehabilitation, musculoskeletal
rehabilitation, pediatrics, geriatrics, and key practice areas identified by the American
Occupational Therapy Association.
