职前治疗
North Park University’s pre-professional track for occupational therapy is a sequence of courses and advising that will give you a solid foundation for your applications to competitive occupational therapy schools around the country. The pre-occupational therapy track should accompany a major—most often 生物学, 心理学, or 体育训练—where you’ll also gain a deeper understanding of the ways in which the body and mind function.

Pre-occupational therapy students are advised by faculty in their major department, often Dr. 琳达维克 (生物学), Dr. 大卫·班尼特 (心理学),或 教授. 安德鲁•朗格 (体育训练), and the director of health professions advising, Kristine Aronsson.
