The Bachelor of Science in Rehabilitation Science (BSRS) degree is the first step in pursuing your career in occupational or physical therapy. The BSRS Accelerated Program offers a focused education that meets the prerequisites for entering our Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT), Occupational Therapy Doctorate entry-level (OTDe), or Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program. In the BSRS Accelerated Program, you will get the skills and knowledge that will prepare you for a successful transition from undergraduate to graduate studies at CUW.
Pre-OT Students
If you are a Pre-OT student, you can apply for CUW’s MOT Program during your sophomore year and begin the graduate coursework your junior year. What does that mean for you? By combining the two programs, you will graduate with a bachelor and master’s in 4 ½ years! If you opt for the OTDe degree, you can be finished with both the bachelor and doctoral degree in five years. Our faculty and staff will help you choose the path that best suits your individual goals and needs.
Pre-PT Students
If you are a Pre-PT student, you would apply to the DPT Program your junior year and begin the Program your senior year. This option allows students to complete the DPT degree in 6 rather than 7 years. This option is open to students who enter CUW as freshmen and take all their science prerequisite coursework at Concordia University. If you pursue admission through the accelerated process, you will receive a Bachelor of Science in Rehabilitation Science after completing your fourth year of academic study at Concordia University.

When applying for admission to CUW, you will have to submit a proof of your ability to cover all expenses at least during the first year of your stay here. As an international student at CUW you will not be eligible for any type of financial assistance that is offered for the American students (scholarships, fellowships, grants). It is also extremely difficult to get a loan from any American bank. This means that it is your responsibility to find funds needed and you cannot count on any financial source in the U.S. You cannot expect to obtain this money by undertaking employment because according to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) regulations, you may not engage in any type of off-campus employment until the end of the first academic year. Any subsequent employment is strictly regulated and limited in time. In regard to this, before coming to the U.S. carefully consider if you have the necessary financial resources to cover your tuition and living expenses at least for the first year of your stay.
There are limited institutional scholarship opportunities for international undergraduate students. Possible scholarships are based on academic performance. The student must apply each semester.
Undergraduate students
Financial aid in the form of institutional scholarships and grants is available to qualifying undergraduate students.
Awards are solely based on GPA. Through theĀ Luther Promise schlorship, a student who has managed to obtain a 3.79 GPA or above can recieve a maximum of $18,000.
Graduate assistantships
The only financial assistance available for international students is offered to graduate students in the form of graduate assistantship positions. Both international and American graduate students are eligible for the assistantship positions. Graduate students are offered a job in one of the departments that offer positions. Graduate assistants undertake to work 20 hours per week for one calendar year. At the end of each month the department you work with (sign a contract) pays $1,000. You can use this money either for covering your tuition, living or other expenses.
In order to apply for a graduate assistantship position, by May 1st you would have to submit the following documents:
