Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD)

Occupational therapists serve patients of all ages in a variety of settings. Our students complete graduate-level coursework and 6 months of full-time clinical fieldwork. During clinical rotations, students visit rehabilitation facilities, long-term care facilities, sheltered workshops, homes, community agencies, and industrial sites. During this time students have the opportunity to experience patient setting they might enter upon graduation and licensure. 

The ACOTE accreditation process for the OTD program is a 3 step process. We have completed Step 1 and the OTD program is in Applicant Status. We are seeking Developing Program Status with targeted admission to the program in Summer 2018. 

Application open: July 18
