You will enter the health science occupational therapy program as a pre-occupational therapy student enrolled in the health science major. For your first four years, you will engage in courses and practica required for both the occupational therapy degree, the health science degree, and the College’s general education requirements. The professional component of the occupational therapy program begins in your fourth year and continues into the fifth, or graduate, year. It includes one summer, where you enroll in the professional level courses with graduate students in the entry-level master's program.
Classes on campus are followed by six months of full-time fieldwork in at least two occupational therapy settings. With hundreds of affiliated fieldwork sites across the country, the Springfield College occupational therapy program offers a wide range of experiences working with people with differing disabilities and conditions, using different treatment approaches, in various practice settings.
