Master of Occupational Therapy
A post-baccalaureate entry to the Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) program is an excellent option if you are seeking a career in occupational therapy. If you currently hold a bachelor's degree and have taken our prerequisite courses, you can complete the program in just two years of study, plus two 12-week fieldwork experiences. Through an established curriculum based on active learning, you'll gain the knowledge and skills to make a meaningful impact on patient care.
Please note the MOT program has two entry-pathway options. The accelerated entry is for freshman and transfer applicants who enter as a health science major for the first three years of study and then transition into the professional program curriculum to complete their combined bachelor of Health Sciences and Master of Occupational Therapy degrees in 5.5 years.
