The Master of Occupational Therapy Program selects students based on grade point average (GPA), Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores, a written essay, letters of evaluation, and an interview. Strong candidates will also demonstrate concern for people of diverse backgrounds, as well as the ability to use judgment, insight, and reasoning. All applicants must complete a minimum of 40 volunteer hours in at least two different OT environments. Some of these environments include hospitals, clinics, and private practices with a variety of populations.

The Master of Occupational Therapy program is designed so that a student may enter after completing an undergraduate or graduate degree or after completing 90 credits of undergraduate work (including 30 semester hours at the junior and/or senior level). Students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.7 or higher on a 4.0 scale for the last two years of baccalaureate or master's degree study and a prerequisite course average of 2.7 or better.

Students are required to submit official scores that are less than five years old from all three areas of the GRE. A minimum GRE combined verbal and quantitative score of 800 and a 3.5 on analytical writing are strongly recom­mended. International students must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and obtain a score of 550 or higher.
