This tool is designed to help you find the University of Utah equivalent of courses taken at 11 area Colleges and Universities. If you do not see your school listed or have questions please contact the OT advisor.

Please note:

  • Biomechanics/Kinesiology/Physics and  Anatomy and Physiology must be complete and graded prior to submitting your OTCAS application
  • 8/10 prereq courses must be complete and graded by Dec. 31 of the application year, meaning only 2 prerequisite courses may be completed in spring/winter term.
  • All prerequisite coursework must be completed by the end of spring semester (around May) prior to starting the program in the fall. OT prerequisite courses may NOT be taken the summer immediately preceding the start of the OT program.
  • This information is subject to change without notice or obligation. Students are urged to make contact with their Academic Advisor prior to registering for a prerequisite course.
