Doctor of Occupational Therapy
The Doctor of Occupational Therapy (DrOT) is a doctorate degree that prepares you to become a successful OT practitioner, researcher or leader in a variety of medical and community settings. It’s the highest level of formal education available to entry-level occupational therapists. By earning your occupational therapy degree from Saint Joseph’s University, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills to make a meaningful impact on patient care.
Saint Joseph’s accredited three-year DrOT program offers the opportunity to work with patients of all ages in the Greater Philadelphia area and neighboring states every semester starting in your first semester through fieldwork experiences and a doctoral capstone project. You’ll also get to publish research and collaborate with noted professors on grant-funded projects and network with students and alumni in student organizations like the Student Occupational Therapy Association.
