Embark on your journey towards a rewarding career in the healthcare field with Concordia's Bachelor of Science in Rehabilitation Science (BSRS) degree. Throughout your time in this program, you will establish a strong educational foundation in anatomy, physiology, healthcare ethics, common health conditions within rehabilitation, and the concepts of disability and function.

Whether you have a clear vision of your future career in mind, such as becoming an occupational therapist or physical therapist, or if you're uncertain about the path you want to take, our rehabilitation science degree equips you with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in various healthcare fields. Our comprehensive curriculum empowers you to impact the lives of individuals in need while providing opportunities to specialize and explore other opportunities within the healthcare industry.

BSRS Degree Pathways

Our BSRS accelerated program offers a focused education that meets the prerequisites for entering our Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) program. 

Students interested in pursuing the Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) can graduate with a bachelor's and doctoral degree in under 5 years. This option is available for students who enter as freshmen and major in Rehabilitation Science. Students who pursue admission into the OTD Program through the accelerated process would apply during the fall of their sophomore year in the Bachelor of Science in Rehabilitation Science (BSRS) Program, and if accepted, begin the OTD Program in the summer between sophomore and junior years. Students would earn their BSRS degree after completing their junior year and then graduate with the OTD degree after two more years in the OTD Program.

Our BSRS accelerated program for undergraduate students offers a focused education that meets the prerequisites for entering our Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program. 

Students interested in pursuing a DPT at Concordia University Ann Arbor have the ability graduate with a bachelor and a doctoral degree in 5-1/2 years. This option is available for students who enter as freshmen, major in Rehabilitation Science, and take all their science prerequisites at CUAA. Students who pursue admission into the DPT Program through the accelerated process would apply to it by the end of their first semester. You would earn your BSRS degree after completing the first fall semester in the physical therapy program and then graduate with your doctorate degree after two more years in the DPT Program.

Not quite sure if graduate school is for you, but you want options? Rehabilitation Science can be useful in and of itself. It is broad enough to be applicable in plenty of medical and health careers while focusing on healing and strengthening the human body. We will give you a foundation that you can build on in whichever direction you choose.

I'm so grateful for the way in which the professors at Concordia cared for me throughout my classes. They are real people who understand the complexities and reality of what it takes to be a real human and maintain a work-life-school balance. They have been available every step of the way, supporting me and encouraging me, and even offering course extensions when I felt like I was in over my head.
