Admissions

The UNC at Chapel Hill Division of Occupational Science is looking for applicants with a blend of academic ability, experience working with people, service orientation, and a belief in the future of occupational therapy. We are also interested in recruiting individuals who represent the diverse population that occupational therapy serves. As with any health care field, multi-cultural experience is a prerequisite to being an effective practitioner.

NOTE TO PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS: The Occupational Science Division welcomes your interest and offers recruitment and admissions advising to interested applicants. We ask, however, that you thoroughly investigate the information available on the website and evaluate your prerequisite courses and preparation according to those guidelines before asking for a transcript evaluation or assessment of your candidacy. We host information sessions on a bi-monthly basis and will prioritize those sessions over individual meetings.
