No Degree Needed
Ready to start your path to occupational therapy? The Doctor of Occupational Therapy program at DMU makes it possible to get started sooner.
You don’t need a bachelor’s degree to apply. Instead, you’ll need at least 72 credits of undergraduate coursework — including prerequisite courses — completed at a regionally accredited college or university in the U.S., finished before orientation begins.
Doctor of Occupational Therapy 3+3 Pathway
Another route to admission is DMU’s OTD 3+3 Pathway, designed for motivated undergraduate students at partner institutions.
