The B.A. in Health Science, pre-occupational therapy is designed to prepare students for careers in health sciences, as well as provide some students direct entry into the Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) graduate program at Whitworth. This major is designed to be part of a fast-track program when combined with Whitworth’s Doctor of Occupational Therapy program. The fast-track program can save students up to 1 year of academic study by completing the BA in Health Science and OTD curriculum in tandem.
All undergraduate degree requirements for a bachelor’s degree will still apply. Students will complete all Shared Curriculum requirements and major requirements in the first three undergraduate years (junior standing), before beginning OT coursework in their fourth year (senior standing). OTD courses taken in the fourth year will count toward existing undergraduate requirements of 126 total credits and 36 upper division credits. Students apply in the fall prior to anticipated start of OTD courses (typically, fall of year three or junior standing). Acceptance to the OTD program is not guaranteed, see admission criteria for the OTD program. If accepted, the student will start graduate coursework in the following fall (typically, year four or senior standing), but will still be considered undergraduate students until the bachelor’s degree is posted. Credits taken cannot count towards two degrees at the same time. Credits taken as an undergraduate student go on the undergraduate transcript and GPA. Students in the Pre-OT major will not receive the B.A. in Health Science until successfully completing all undergraduate requirements (typically after the fourth year of study). If a student in the Pre-OT major starts OTD coursework, but later decides not to complete the OTD degree, completed credits are still eligible to count towards the undergraduate requirement of 126 total credits and 36 upper division credits. However, the student would not be eligible to enroll in future OTD courses. Any remaining undergraduate requirements would need to be met through traditional undergraduate courses.
