Masters of Occupational Therapy Partnership |

|
|
This partnership provides successful candidates with both an undergraduate
psychology major and preferential admission into a Masters of
Occupational Therapy program. Students who successfully complete the
program receive a Westminster College B.A. in Psychology. In addition
they will have all of the prerequisites needed to move directly into
the Masters of Occupational Therapy program at Duquesne University.
Students can apply for admission into the master’s program as early as
the end of their freshman year. Through Westminster’s Field Experience
program and Psychology’s capstone research courses, students will have
internship and research opportunities collaboratively developed with
the Westminster and Duquesne faculty.
Occupational therapy is a growing professional area. Practitioners work in such
settings as acute care, industrial rehabilitation, physical
rehabilitation, mental health, long-term care, case management,
consultation, school systems, early intervention, community service,
education, disease prevention and health promotion.
With a Westminster bachelor’s degree in psychology, career
options will expand to those available to all psychology majors
including a wide variety of social service and child development
careers, and opportunities to pursue graduate education in clinical,
counseling, and the variety of sub-specialities of experimental
psychology.
