Occupational Therapy Program
Pre-professional track
Occupational therapists support the health and rehabilitation of people with disabilities, physical injuries, and mental health issues, and they play key roles in promoting lifelong health and creating more accessible environments for all people. As an occupational therapist (OT), your work could take you through a variety of settings, from health care, schools, and community centers, to businesses and communal homes for patients who are on the road to independent living.
Hamline's pre-occupational therapy advising program will prepare you with the foundation of knowledge you need to apply to graduate school and create a powerful beginning to your career. We make sure you get hands-on experience in the skills that will set you above the rest of the field, and our mentors and advisors will support your continued education with plans and suggestions tailored to your needs.
Prerequisite coursework
Students interested in further education should be aware of the admission requirements of the programs or schools they intend to apply to.

Occupational therapy observation experience requirements vary by program. Some schools recommend shadowing but don't require it, while others require a range of 10 to 30 hours of experience.
