Students are Prepared through Pathway Mentorship
Elisabeth began looking at colleges that offered an OT program. When she toured College of Saint Mary, she learned she was eligible for the accelerated entry pathway for undergraduates CSM offers for its OT program.
“That was a big thing for me,” Elisabeth said. “I decided to come here because I could already have my path lined up. I liked that there was an easy connection between undergrad to grad school. There weren’t separate applications, and I wouldn’t have to move locations. It was all in the same place.”
Elisabeth also chose CSM for its small class sizes.
“The professors, faculty and staff all care about you. Walking in the halls or walking on campus, you always get someone saying hi to you,” she said. “I loved that the class sizes weren’t super big, so for me, it wasn’t going to be a huge change from what I was used to in high school. Going to college is already a big enough change, so I didn’t want to attend a lecture with 300 people.”
