Degree Requirements

The entry-level Occupational Therapy program is designed for full-time study, which allows students to complete this professional preparation in reasonable time while ensuring quality of the education.

The program has four (4) semesters of didactic coursework (fall, spring, and summer of year 1; and fall of year 2) followed by a fifth semester (actually 6 months) of Level II fieldwork (full-time, unpaid internship/practice under the supervision of an experienced therapist).

The total program, if completed as planned, requires a total of 23 months.
