Degree & Non-Degree Programs:
The department offers a post-baccalaureate
entry-level master's degree
for applicants who do not have a degree in occupational therapy. For occupational
therapist with a bachelors degree, we offer a
post-professional master's degree.
For occupational therapists with a master's degree we offer a
doctoral degree program.
We also offer a certificate program for students of all levels. Our programs prepare
graduates for work as practitioners, administrators, researchers, and educators.
Clinical reasoning is the central organizing framework of the curriculum. It provides a
foundation for clinical decision making and interaction that considers theoretical and
procedural components of therapeutic interventions. Human behavior results from dynamic
interaction between the individual's innate potentials and characteristics, and experiences
with people, objects, and events in the environment. In ongoing clinical reasoning seminars,
the faculty and students examine these interactions in the context of clinical and
community-based practice.
Students can enter any degree program in either the Fall or Spring semester.
Students opting to start the entry-level masters program in the Spring, must take
summer classes following the first semester of academic work.
