Occupational Therapy Doctorate Program
We are relentless advocates for the distinct value of occupational therapy. Our best method for promoting our profession is by teaching and training exemplary therapists.
We accomplish this through:
- Small class size: Each cohort has approximately 20 students. This allows course instructors to get to know each learner and give rich feedback.
- Hands-on learning: Every semester includes fieldwork. Courses include practicum, case-based assignments, labs, and interprofessional education.
- Individualized opportunities: The curriculum allows students to explore their areas of interest. Each student selects, plans, and conducts a unique capstone project. Many lead to job offers, novel programs, and publications.
- Student support: We have broad range of resources dedicated to helping students succeed in the classroom, clinic, and beyond.
