BSOS Careers and Job Opportunities

Career Opportunities

The Occupational Science degree allows an opportunity for students who hold an associate degree in occupational therapy or physical therapy to advance their practice-based skills and knowledge at the bachelor’s level and/or as a pathway to graduate studies.

Students who earn a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Science (BSOS) may choose to pursue graduate work in occupational therapy, management, and/or another related degree.

PTA Graduates: BSOS students interested in graduate work in physical therapy can meet the some of the entry requirements of DPT programs with BSOS electives; however, will need to complete an average of 15 credits of additional coursework.

Kindly note, students who are seeking to complete any graduate program post the BSOS degree should consult with those graduate programs about pre-requisite requirements prior to enrolling in the BSOS program, so the student and BSOS faculty advisor are on the same page of what coursework the student should enroll in while at Penn State University.
