Students are encouraged to participate in the Collegiate Educational Service Corps (CESC), organized by the Student Center. It provides an opportunity for students to get experience through volunteer work at hospitals, rehabilitation centers, etc.

Pre-occupational therapy students are also encouraged to do an O.T. preceptorship as part of an Independent Study course (Bgy 80). They will observe practicing Occupational Therapists, become familiar with related types of therapy, read about issues facing the field, write a term paper, and present a talk to a seminar session.

It is good for potential occupational therapists to acquire some manual skills such as weaving, ceramics, woodworking, leather, etc. Opportunities for learning such skills are available in short courses offered by the Office of Continuing Education. They are also skills which can be practiced in certain CESC programs.
