. Are you a
person who likes to help others? Do you enjoy the medical
sciences, but also like social sciences and the arts? Do you
like to figure out creative solutions to life problems? If
you answer yes to one or more of these questions, you'll
like the field of occupational therapy. Occupational
therapists help people do the everyday activities that they want
and need to do.
This is more difficult than it sounds,
because it requires attention to the individual as a physical,
mental and spiritual being and the environment in which he or she
functions.

I invite
you
to take a close look at our programs, faculty, and facilities.
We offer accredited academic instruction of the highest quality in the Women's College, leading to the combined
bachelor's/master's degree in occupational therapy. For
those who are already occupational therapists, the
Evening and Weekend College programs lead to a choice
of post-professional graduate options for both men and women.
Our department
brings together nationally recognized faculty members, experienced
practitioners and strong students who all work together in a
community of learning, research and practice. Our classes combine
hands-on experience in the laboratory and at field sites. Courses
are based on the latest research in occupational science and
occupational therapy. These are further enhanced by the
medical and social sciences, as well as a strong liberal arts
foundation. You'll find more about the educational
requirements by consulting our
program pages at this website.
Our graduates are
employed in a variety of medical, educational and community
settings, working with all ages, ranging from infants to older
adults. Many are offered positions prior to program
completion, and several have started their own practices. Some work
with special needs
children in schools, others help injured workers get back on the job,
and still others help the elderly and people with mental
illness manage their daily living needs. Our graduates all share a rich
academic background that gives them the tools to excel in their careers.
Explore our
website and discover the wealth of information it
offers. You will see Brenau faculty, students and graduates
in real settings providing occupational therapy services.
Please give me a call or email for answers to your questions
and to arrange a personal visit to our campus. I invite you to
join our community of learning.
