What subjects do I have to take in order to be an "O.T."?

Question

What would I have to take in High School and College in order to become an "O.T." I was also thinking about going to Boston U.

Thanks In advanced..

Answer 1

Focus on Science and related classes, that relate to the human body and how it works, such as Biology. Also because this field has a lot of human interaction, I suggest speech classes.

There's the exact information of what the school you are looking at offers. There are great opportunities if you get a Master's degree, and many schools offer "linked" programs where you "automatically" go into a Master's program.

My best friend is finishing off her Masters in O.T. and she didn't take many "special" courses in high school. Any college wants a well rounded person, although you may want to make sure you go beyond your school's science requirements. Also I know what helped her was getting a part time job or work "co-op" working in a hospital in high school. Good luck!
