Students are admitted to a 90-credit Bachelor of Science (Rehabilitation Science) – Major in Occupational Therapy or Major in Physical Therapy. The undergraduate degrees are designed to lead to a master of science, applied, in the same discipline, i.e., Master of Science, Applied in Occupational Therapy or Master of Science, Applied in Physical Therapy. For entry to professional practice in Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy a Master's Applied degree in Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy is required.

Academic entrance requirements are available at mcgill.ca/applying.

Additional entrance requirements may be mandated, as described at mcgill.ca/spot/admissions and mcgill.ca/applying/nextsteps/documents/additional. This includes CASPer test and French language requirements.

Equivalent McGill Science Prerequisite Courses – McGill Inter-Faculty Transfer

• Fall Term
• BIOL 111
• CHEM 110
• MATH 139 or MATH 140
• PHYS 101 or PHYS 131

• Winter Term
• BIOL 112
• CHEM 120
• CHEM 212 *
• MATH 141
• PHYS 102 or PHYS 142
• CASPer: Applicants are required to complete an online assessment called CASPer, as a component of the selection process takecasper.com/dates-times;
• proof of French proficiency mcgill.ca/spot/files/spot/french_requirements_for_healthcare_0-ift_0.pdf.

* Alternatively, CHEM 212 can be taken intensively in the Summer term in the month of May.

Students applying for an inter-faculty transfer into the B.Sc. (Rehabilitation Science) programs offered at the School of Physical & Occupational Therapy must apply directly to the School of Physical & Occupational Therapy. Students must complete an inter-faculty transfer form available on Minerva as of March 1, as well as the CASPer test for rehabilitation science, and French requirement mcgill.ca/undergraduate-admissions/apply/submit-documents#additional which complement the other elements in our applicant selection process.

All of the above documents must be submitted no later than April 1. Your application will be processed only if your file is complete. Late submission of documents or non-receipt of documents by the specified date may invalidate your application. Please refer to mcgill.ca/spot/programs/admissions-0/inter-faculty-transfers and University Regulations & Resources > Undergraduate > Registration > Interfaculty Transfer for details.

If you are accepted, you will enter the B.Sc.Rehab.Sc. program as a U1 student. Transfer credits will be reviewed following admission, and up to 30 transfer credits will be counted toward your degree. All transfer credits must be requested and processed by December of the first term of U1. Progression through the curriculum is conditional upon successful completion of each year's courses. Since the curriculum is sequential, the order of the courses is set and only offered in that year of the program, i.e., you must complete all courses in U1 to proceed to U2, etc. Students are not permitted to mix courses from different years in the same year. Therefore, the time required to complete the B.Sc.Rehab.Sc. degree is fixed at three years.

Requests for all transfer credits must be completed during the first semester in the program.

Students seeking admission to the Master of Science, Applied in Occupational Therapy or the Master of Science, Applied in Physical Therapy programs who have undergraduate degrees other than the B.Sc.Rehab.Sc. Major in Occupational Therapy or the B.Sc.Rehab.Sc. Major in Physical Therapy from McGill University are required to complete a graduate Qualifying Year (QY) prior to beginning the master's program. Students apply through Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies to the master's program.

Students wishing to enter the Qualifying Year of the M.Sc.A. in Occupational Therapy or Physical Therapy degree must consult the School of Physical & Occupational Therapy's Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies section, and the School's website at mcgill.ca/spot/programs/admissions-0.
