This offering is available to those students who choose to continue into the Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) program at Bay Path or elsewhere, but not as an accelerated Pre-Occupational Therapy Studies major. Students with this major are admitted to the MOT program if they meet GPA and prerequisite requirements. It is also a suitable option for students seeking other types of careers in health care settings or those pursuing graduate study in allied health fields other than OT. This offering includes 18 credits of major-specific coursework outside of the Health and Human Studies core.
