Department of Occupational Therapy accreditation information

Accreditation

The Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) accreditation process for the OTD program is a multi-step process. The program has been granted Preaccreditation Status by ACOTE which allows us to admit students to the OTD program.

Graduates of the program will be able to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational therapists administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be an Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR®). Certification is necessary for licensure in most states. Please note:  A felony conviction may affect a graduate's ability to sit for the NBCOT examination and or attain a state license.
