Question
Hello. I am looking for any college that has both Occupational Therapy and Radiology offered. I have looked online and can't find a college with both? Do you know any? I'm am particulary interested in a attending a christian college but would be happy to find any college or university that has both. It does not matter where just as long as its in America. I would like to find a somewhere that offers these majors as bachelor degrees if possible. Do you know of any? I am so fustrated and I have to make a decision soon on where I am going. I'm attending a community college at the moment to save money and give me more time to decide where I should go next. If you know of any in Ohio, PA, or WV I would love to know also. plz help me! thanks.           
                Sincerely,
                bekah


Answer
Bekah,

When you say radiology I assume you mean radiological tech? If so I think the problem you are having is that a radiology tech is typically a 2 year program while occupational therapy is a 4 year program. Some colleges offer both a 2 and 4 year degree but they are not that common. Then add in 2 particular programs and you have your problem.

I did find two colleges that appear to meet your criteria of having both programs in the states listed. They are Mount Aloysius College in Cresson, PA and Shawnee State University in Portsmouth, OH.

I hope that helps.
