Erica’s Answer

Hey Sarah


You have to get a Bachelor degree in an area that has a direct path toward applying to an OT program.


For example, many people do Psychology or Biology or some sort of science. I did my BS in Therapeutic Recreation.


Then you have to do a masters degree minimum to be able to sit the NBCOT exam and be certified to practice in the USA.


I hope this answers your question!
