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.
