MS in Occupational Therapy Application Information
*Open to men and women.

The MSOT program track is for graduate students who have earned a bachelor's degree outside of occupational therapy or will be completing a bachelor's degree at another institution. If you have not earned a bachelor's degree and plan to earn one at Mount Mary College, please review the admission information for the Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy.

The Occupational Therapy program reads completed applications twice per calendar year for admission to the program. Application deadlines are January 15 and June 15 each year. Review the Master of Science Occupational Therapy application procedure sheet for additional information.

It is important to apply early to the Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (MSOT) program. Applications are considered in two stages.
