  About Us: History of the Occupational Therapy Department at Tufts

The Boston School of Occupational Therapy, one of the first of its kind in the country, was founded in 1918 at the request of the surgeon general of the United States Army. In 1945, the Boston School of Occupational Therapy became affiliated with Tufts University. It now offers degree programs in occupational therapy at the graduate level as part of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
