About Program
Program Overview
This occupational therapy program prepares students for a career in helping clients regain or improve their daily living skills. Graduates of both master's and doctoral programs take the same certification exam, and employers do not differentiate between the two degrees for entry-level positions. The program includes a holistic approach and a combination of classroom instruction and fieldwork experience.
Program Outline
Careers:
- Occupational therapists work with clients to build or restore their abilities to perform daily tasks or "occupations" by utilizing a holistic approach.
- Graduates of a master’s program and doctoral program take the SAME certification exam from the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) even though doctoral students attend classes for additional semesters and have to complete a 16-week experiential component in addition to 24 weeks of Level II fieldwork experience.
- National board certified occupational therapists only need 24 weeks of Level II fieldwork to apply for licensure in any state.
- Employers do not differentiate between an entry-level master’s degree or entry-level doctoral degree in occupational therapy.
