"My experience in the Exercise Science Pre-Occupational Therapy program at EIU provided me with a strong foundation that prepared me for the demands of graduate school. The coursework gave me a solid understanding of the human body, movement, and health while also helping me develop the critical thinking and interpersonal skills that I now use every day as a Master of Occupational Therapy student. I am grateful for the professors, experiences, and opportunities I had at EIU that helped prepare me for the next step toward becoming an occupational therapist!"Karlie McKenzieExercise Science: Pre-Occupational Therapy Pathway | Class of 2026
