Doctor of Occupational Therapy Program Admissions Pathways

Traditional Pathway

Do you have a bachelor’s degree (in any field) from an accredited school, or currently finishing your senior year? You’re eligible! You’ll need that degree completed before you enroll, backed by a final official transcript. A 3.0 GPA (undergrad and grad, if you have both) is recommended.

Monarch Momentum Pathway

Already a Methodist University undergrad? The Monarch Momentum Pathway gives you a direct line to our OTD program while you’re still finishing your bachelor’s. It’s open to biology, chemistry, exercise science, kinesiology, and psychology majors. Talk to your advisor if you’re interested. 

You’ll still need the same prerequisites as the Traditional Pathway, and you’ll get scored on the same criteria. The difference: hit the minimum qualifications, and you’re guaranteed an interview.

Bring a solid interview and a strong file, and Monarch Momentum students get the first shot at the entering class. It’s not a guaranteed acceptance, but it’s a real advantage in a competitive process.
