Our Mission
The mission of the Occupational Therapy program is to provide competent health care providers who possess basic skills as health care providers, consultants, educators, managers, researchers, and advocates for the profession and the consumer. In addition, the program seeks to improve patient access and quality care for rural and underserved populations through interprofessional education.
The Master of Science in Occupational Therapy program prepares you to succeed as a highly skilled Occupational Therapist (OT) who demonstrates excellence in patient practice, professionalism in the therapeutic environment, and professional responsibility as a member of the OT profession.
The Occupational Therapy MS degree can be completed in two years (69 credit hours) of full-time study. We accept students into a cohort once per year, beginning with the first summer term (May).
Upon successful completion of program requirements, you will be prepared and eligible to take the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) Examination.
