Department of Occupational Therapy and Occupational Science
Occupational Therapy Combined B.S./M.S.
Admission Requirements
Admission to the university does not guarantee
admission to the occupational therapy combined B.S./M.S. program. The admission coordinator
Melissa Egerton is available to assist with the application process.
Prospective students can also contact the department to request a Pre-OT
advisor who will advise potential students about the nature of the
profession, the national certification examination, and the occupational
therapy curriculum prior to admission at the request of the student.
Early Admission to the Major
High school seniors, current Towson University students,
and transfer students with an overall grade point average of
3.6 may be considered for early admission to the Combined
B.S./M.S. Program in Occupational Therapy. Early admission
will result in Guaranteed Admission Status which will ensure
the student a place in the program with the next class
admitted. In order to receive Guaranteed Admission Status,
applicants need to complete the application process and be
selected by the program’s Admissions Committee. In order to
enter the program, students must meet all application
criteria, including prerequisite grade requirements, and be
admitted to the university. Early admission applicants will
be admitted on a first-come, first-served rolling admission
basis. Applications will continue to be accepted until all
available spaces are filled. No more than 50 percent of the
class will be filled with early-admit students. Applicants will be
informed of the status of their application within 30 days.
High school seniors can only apply for Early Admissions
as of February 1 of their senior year.
Students interested in pursuing early admission under this
policy must contact the CHP admissions coordinator,
at 410-704-2653.
