Programs & Courses
Prospective OTA students are introduced to foundational courses for human anatomy and physiology in the pre-requisite courses along with written and/or oral communication skills and psychology or sociology. Remaining required supporting courses can be taken prior to entering the program or while enrolled in the OTA program. The prerequisite and required supporting courses provide students with skills needed for success as an OTA. Once admitted to the program, each quarter’s curriculum builds on previous coursework reinforcing what has been learned while introducing new information and skills sets. The basic idea is to start with less complex concepts and build to more complex thought processes and critical thinking throughout the program. Beginning spring quarter of the first year, for the day program or the fourth quarter of the evening program students have the opportunity to apply their skills in clinical affiliations.
