Do I Have To Go Back To Get An Associates As An Occupational Therapy Assistant If I Already Have A Bs.?

Filed in Category Pediatric Associates

Last year I graduated from UTA with a Bachelor of Science (Exercise Science). I’ve been working as a Rehab Tech at a pediatric clinic for over a year and I’m considering the OTA program. My only concern is that the sites that offer classes for OTA don’t want to send me info since I already have a bachelor degree. Would I be able to take the test to get certified or do I have to get an associates?? Thanks.

    A COTA is a 2 year associates program. You can not just pass the test, you need the AAS and the interships
    If you have a BS, get a masters in OTR. It will take you 2 years at well and you will make much more money and you can do a lot more things.
