Students will begin the occupational therapy program upon completion of their bachelor\u2019s degree. Fulfilling the above requirements is required for being considered as a candidate for the MOT Program at Rockhurst University. In addition, the student must demonstrate professional behaviors when interacting with faculty, staff, students, clients, and patients. These behaviors are important for success in the graduate program and reflect the capacity to deliver high standard of health service. We consider these behaviors to be as important as traditional academic standards in determining criteria for matriculation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/hses\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/175\/2018\/03\/MOA-Occupational-Therapy-Final-approved.pdf\">Download Agreement<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\" style=\"transform:translate3d(0,0,0);\"><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/admissions\/pre-professional-program-tracks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View the Pre-Professional Program Tracks page<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/hses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2243"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/hses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/hses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/hses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/hses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2243"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/hses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2243\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2910,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/hses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2243\/revisions\/2910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/hses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/hses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/hses\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
