Overview and Requirements (Change of Campus)
Students currently in an Occupational Therapy Assistant program at another Penn State campus and who wish to change campuses to 蒙特中音 will be considered based on availability of space and curriculum compatibility. The direct approval of the Occupational Therapy Assistant Program Coordinator at the 蒙特中音 campus will be required. Students who plan to change from the Occupational Therapy Assistant Program at 蒙特中音 to one of the other Penn State Occupational Therapy Assistant programs should contact the Occupational Therapy Assistant Program Coordinator at the campus you wish to attend for information on the procedure that is to be followed for admission into that program.
概述及要求(转专业)
Students who wish to change their major must have a cumulative collegiate grade-point average of 2.0对4.0 scale as the minimum University requirement for change of major consideration. 在一般情况下, change of major to the Occupational Therapy Assistant program oftentimes requires a substantially higher cumulative grade-point average. The number of qualified applicants typically exceeds the number of available program spaces; therefore, satisfaction of the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission.
The program is competitive and applicants to the program are reviewed annually in January. 因此, students should submit a change of major application to the campus registrar by November 30 of the year PRIOR to when they wish to enter the Occupational Therapy Assistant program (i.e. November 30 2017 for entrance to Occupational Therapy courses in fall 2018). Applications received after November 30 will be reviewed on a space available basis.
In addition to a cumulative grade point average, it is recommended that all change of major applicants should have demonstrated successful completion of at least one (1) laboratory based biological and one (1) social science related course prior to the January review.

- 生物161 /生物162解剖学 & 生理学我

Social and Behavioral Sciences (choose at least one)
