AS in Pre-Health Sciences: Pre-Occupational Therapy

Clermont College offers a Pre-Health Sciences track in Occupational Therapy. This track provides students with an Associates Degree program that is specifically designed for students to transition to the Health Sciences Pre-Occupational therapy major within the College of Allied Health Sciences at the UC Clifton campus.

This program is open to all students with a high school diploma or GED and the desire to succeed in college. Although admission is open, students accepted into the program must meet the academic standards of the program to advance to upper levels of study.
