Baccalaureate of Science in Occupational Therapy | 141 |
|
Program description
The occupational therapy program is a four-year program which leads to a baccalaureate of science degree. The program consists of 141 credits, of which 113 are compulsory and 28 are optional. The 113 credits of required courses include 32 credits from outside the discipline and 81 discipline credits, including 26 for clinical fieldwork. These 26 credits add up to more than the 1,000 hours of clinical training required by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists. Of the five clinical training courses, three are incorporated into the academic year and two are done during summer months.
Through the non-discipline courses, the program promotes a multidisciplinary approach to learning.
Occupational therapy program students take courses with students from other programs such as nursing, physiotherapy, psychology, human kinetics, and other programs. However, because of limited resources, courses identified by the ERG code are exclusively limited to occupational therapy students.
Because of their dynamic nature and, therefore, their need for revision and change, each program reserves the right to change, cancel or suspend the courses in this calendar.
