Dominican University of California offers a five-year program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Health Science and the Master of Science in Occupational Therapy with a transfer option.

You will complete most of their general education and all of the pre-OT admission requirements during the first two years of college (lower division courses) and begin a focused group of occupational therapy courses in your junior year.

In your senior year, students develop a thesis proposal that can be either project-focused or research-focused. Students are guided in the selection of their thesis topics and can usually choose to focus in the of their personal interest.

Why Dominican?

"I recently had two job offers, and accepted one with a geriatric transitional care facility in San Luis Obispo. One great thing is that I met my employer at the Dominican Career Fair. Having access to OT opportunities at the fair was important and successful for me!"
