The English major provides an excellent foundation to become an Occupational Therapist. Sage has developed an innovative 3+2 program where students can complete their B.A. in English and M.S. in Occupational Therapy in just over five years of academic coursework and fieldwork. Students who choose this program will have faculty advisors from both the English and Occupational Therapy programs.
The sequence listed below begins with the courses freshman English majors should take. Please note: the courses with an asterisk can be taken in either the fall or spring semesters.
