    Key Features of the OTD Degree Program

    • Outstanding faculty with national reputations in the field of occupational therapy.
    • Well-qualified, talented students who take responsibility for their learning and raise the level of inquiry for their peers.
    • Classes held Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in order to facilitate entry of adults with other responsibilities.
    • Highly integrated occupational therapy coursework devoted to a solid understanding of theory, research, and practice skills.
    • A comprehensive four-course research sequence that challenges students to investigate topics that will advance the understanding of therapeutic occupation and the profession.
    • Integrated coursework in leadership, management, teaching and learning, and professional issues to prepare students to be effective advocates in diverse practice settings.
    • Integrated fieldwork seminars designed to facilitate the application of classroom concepts and skills to practice settings.
    • Fieldwork experiences in each semester expose students to the breath of OT practice areas and help students apply coursework to clinical practice.
    • Two, twelve-week fieldwork experiences that allow learners to begin practicing the skills of an entry level therapist while critically reflecting upon and using their acquired knowledge.
    • An individually planned capstone practicum allows students to develop specialized skills in a practice area of choice (e.g., pediatrics, gerontology, hand therapy, community-based practice, management, advocacy, or education).
