Take a fast track to a high-paying and rewarding career and save significant time and money with two new Accelerated Pathway programs at UM-Flint.

The traditional path to a doctorate in occupational therapy or physical therapy is seven years.

With the Occupational Therapy Accelerated Pathway or Physical Therapy Accelerated Pathway you can complete both a bachelor’s and doctorate in six years, saving one year of time and tuition.

How both programs work:

• Three years completing Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences program requirements
• Three years in either UM-Flint’s Occupational Therapy Doctorate or Doctorate of Physical Therapy

Highlights:

• Complete the bachelor’s degree requirements and program prerequisites with 31 to 33 fewer credits than the traditional path.
• If you are accepted to a graduate program in your fourth year, the first two semesters will also work as the final semesters of the bachelor’s degree.
• The Accelerated Pathway programs don’t guarantee acceptance to the doctorate program.

UM-Flint offers the only Doctor of Physical Therapy and Doctor of Occupational Therapy programs in the University of Michigan system. Earn a degree that’s recognized around the world on a small, supportive campus.
