Spring Start Curriculum

Start your Master of Science in Occupational Therapy as soon as this spring! By offering both Fall and Spring starts, Regis gives you the flexibility to start a program as soon as you’re ready. Additionally, when you start the program in the spring, you’ll have a summer break after your first semester. That gives you the option to work over the summer to offset costs or focus on personal and family commitments before restarting in the fall.

To learn more, join us on November 12th at noon for a special information session on the unique benefits of a spring start!

Having this program start in the spring and having summers off has been beneficial as a graduate student because I have had the opportunity to work full-time for four months and save as much money as possible. I live at home with my parents, and being able to work full-time hours to prepare for the upcoming semester makes me feel more at ease financially. Additionally, when I was applying to Regis I submitted my application in July of 2022, and it was great to start in January of 2023 instead of September. Once I decided to commit to Regis I was glad that I would be able to start as soon as possible - about 6 months after applying.
