Welcome to the Occupational Therapy
Department, the first and oldest non-teacher education program at WMU, 90 years old in 2012
Since 1922, the WMU Occupational Therapy program has been a leader and innovator in the field, and our graduates have made significant contributions throughout the nation and the world. This year--2012--we are celebrating our 90th Anniversary, commemorating a tradition of excellence and committing to a bold future.
Historically, occupational therapists have been in high demand, and that demand is rising. New professionals are needed, particularly those skilled in working with the growing population of older adults. In that area and many others, WMU OT graduates have distinct advantages:
- 4 + 1 bachelor’s/master’s program, a fast track to professional practice
- Graduate professional program, available in Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids
- Access to the WMU Center for Gerontology
- Experienced faculty, committed to teaching excellence and scholarship
- Marion R. Spear OT Clinic, high quality clinical preparation right next door
We welcome your interest in WMU OT. Please browse this site to learn more and contact us for further information.
Sincerely,
Dr. Joseph M. Pellerito, Jr., Chair
