Pre-Occupational Therapy Program
Occupational therapy schools differ considerably
in their pre-professional requirements. A minimum of 2-3 pre-professional years
is required, with completion of an undergraduate degree required to enter the
only OT program in Idaho - at Idaho State University. A student interested in
this career is advised to consult an advisor, determine which of the several
schools would be the student's choice, and pattern the pre-professional curriculum
in line with the requirements of the desired schools. Check out the
American Occupational Therapy website:
