In-Person Open House Experiences

In-person open house experiences are available for prospective students to preview what it is like to participate in a lab immersion as a BGSU OTD student. Participants at our open house experiences will also get to meet faculty and current students of the program.

We are currently planning our Open House offerings for the upcoming 2026-27 application cycle. Please stay tuned for updates!

Advising Appointments

Students who are completing high school or are entering their freshman year at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) should contact the central BGSU Academic Advising and Planning Office to connect with their assigned student support team.  Students enrolled in an undergraduate pre-occupational therapy degree program at BGSU should additionally seek advice from the Office of Pre-Professional Programs.

BGSU alumni and undergraduate students close to graduation may additionally schedule advising appointments directly with OTD program faculty advisors via email at otdadmissions@bgsu.edu.

Non-BGSU students who are close to graduation and non-BGSU students who have completed their baccalaureate degree or higher should contact the BGSU Doctor of Occupational Therapy admissions team. All appointments at this time are done over the phone or via Zoom. It is helpful to bring a copy of all completed coursework to the initial advising meeting.

We will begin offering advising appointments for those candidates that were denied program admission this cycle after June 3rd. Instructions to set up an appointment will be provided in your denial notice.
