Professional Master's Degree Path
The professional (entry-level) master's degree path is designed for individuals who want to be occupational therapists and have an undergraduate degree in something other than occupational therapy.
Accelerated Professional Master's Degree Path
The accelerated program provides a means by which highly qualified undergraduate students at ECU enroll as a freshman in the undergraduate program of Health Services Management with the intention of preparing for a professional masters (entry-level) degree program in Occupational Therapy. This path of entry to the occupational therapy program DOES NOT guarantee admission to the program; the student must apply to the graduate program in their junior year. The student on the accelerated degree path will not receive an undergraduate degree; they will receive a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy.
