Webster University offers a cooperative 3-2 program with the Washington University School of Medicine in Occupational Therapy. This dual degree program enables students to complete a BA in Biology, BS in Biological Sciences, BS in Exercise Science, BS in Psychological Science or BA in Psychology from Webster University and a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from Washington University within a five-year period. Occupational therapy is a client-centered health profession concerned with promoting health and well-being through occupation. The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life.

To take advantage of this cooperative 3-2 program, students need to:

• Complete a minimum of 90 credit hours toward the declared Webster undergraduate degree, with at least 30 of those credit hours taken in residence at Webster University, and two years at Washington University.
• Complete the Webster University global citizenship program and the requirements for their undergraduate major at Webster prior to entering the Washington University program.
• Apply to the Washington University School of Medicine Occupational Therapy Program. Most students apply in early fall of their junior year. Interested students should examine the materials on the Washington University site to make sure they have the most current set of admission requirements.
• Submit a petition to graduate from Webster University upon earning a minimum of 120 credit hours (after year 1 or year 2 at Washington University).
