Does anyone know any occupational therapy programs which start in January like CSUDH and Brennau? I want to stay in school an extra semester to get a second degree (currently majoring in Psych, I want to get a degree in Journalism as well)

I'm pretty sure Tuoro's program (in Manhattan) starts in the spring.

I think Eastern Michigan University has a winter start.

St. Augustine in CA and FL have start dates in the spring, summer, and fall. USC starts in the summer

I believe LSU's program in New Orleans starts in January as well.

CSU Dominguez Hills near L.A., which you mentioned, has a January start with a Sept 15 application deadline. They are not OCTAS but they do require GRE. They will waive shadowing hours if you enroll in an introductory OT class at least a semester before the MSOT program begins.

Thank you. Dominguez hills sounds great. Do you know how competitive it is to get into?

How is your second degree is Journalism going to help you get into OT school? That's something you need to think about because it's basically a waste.

That said, Mercy College in NY has a January starting program, but they operate on a quarter semester and you attend only on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The catch though, you MUST take their prerequisites that are required prior to taking OT classes.

My second journalism degree is not necessarily for OT school. That's something I like doing and if OT doesn't work out I have a back up
