Preparing for Electives

Classes

In USC’s MA-II program, the final semester predominantly consists of elective courses. The classes offered include: sensory integration theory, ergonomics, hand rehabilitation, dysphagia, and many more. There are so many fantastic choices, that it is going to be difficult to decide which courses to take. I plan to work in a pediatric rehabilitation setting upon graduation, so I am going to take electives that best support my professional development in that area. It is hard to believe that graduation is only 5 short months away. It feels like just yesterday that I was sitting in kinesiology meeting my classmates for the first time!
