Application and Admission Information 
Professional-level classes in the master's OT program are composed of 30 students who are screened and selected for admission in the Spring to begin course work in the fall semester of the same year. Requests for applications can be made at any time; however, they are e-mailed to prospective students after Nov. 15 of each year and accepted until January of the following year for entrance into the fall program. Professional class selection is usually complete by early March of each year. The Admissions Committee selects candidates eligible for the required personal interview held in February. The final class is selected based on an objective point system that rates core GPA, interview, references, and volunteer activities. To apply to the University of Mary Occupational Therapy Program, request an admissions packet as follows:

Rolling Admissions

If the class number doesn't reach the limit of 30, rolling admissions goes into effect. Students must meet all criteria previously outlined and participate in the formal interview process. Rolling admissions applications are considered until the first day of class in the fall. Applicants will be reviewed based on the time of submission of a completed application.
