The College of Education and Rehabilitation, Department of Occupational Therapy
In 2012 the College launched Occupational Therapy programs (OT), which offers an embedded Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (MSOT) degree in an entry-level Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) degree program.
The degree program for our Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (MSOT) degree requires 56 semester hours delivered over a 21 month period. With an MSOT degree, students are eligible to sit for the National Board for Certification of Occupational Therapists (NBCOT) examination required to meet state licensing requirements.
The degree program for our entry-level Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) degree program requires 86 semester hours for completion over a period of 32 months.
On May 10, 2012, the Accreditation Council for Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) granted Developing Program Status to the University’s new Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) degree and Master of Occupational Therapy (MSOT) degree programs. All new programs seeking accreditation by ACOTE are required to apply for Developing Program Status as the first step in the three-step accreditation process for new programs to ensure commitment to the development of quality programs, and to review the potential viability of an applicant occupational therapy educational program prior to the admission of the first class of students.

“Show business is the best possible therapy for remorse.”
