Why I chose WOU
As Oregon's oldest public university, WOU's foray into healthcare programs was a welcome step for prospective students as well as clinical settings. I like that WOU's OTD program is paying special attention to developing a more holistic admissions process and providing affordable education. This will hopefully bring some much needed diversification within the profession.At WOU since
