Current Milligan undergraduate students may be eligible for the Early Acceptance Plan (EAP). You may apply as early as your Junior year.

  • Locks in tuition rate for the year you apply/are accepted
  • Take 1 course in your senior year if you apply as a junior (lighten your load during grad school)
  • Any major eligible (prerequisites are required, suggested majors increase chance of acceptance)

  • Complete the prerequisite requirements for admission
  • Bachelor’s degrees can be in a variety of academic areas, some of which include exercise science, human relations, development, sociology, biology, and psychology

  • Complete and document a minimum of 40 hours observing occupational therapists in a variety of clinical settings
