Master of Occupational Therapy

Students are awarded the Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) degree after the completion of 33 months of didactic and clinical courses. The program places an emphasis on clinical excellence with a strong theoretical basis so graduates will be prepared for state-of-the-art therapeutic practice. The faculty members are actively involved in maintaining high standards for the curriculum and value active learning strategies in all courses. The program curriculum is accredited through the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education.

Students participate in a variety of learning experiences from lectures, labs, clinical simulations, observations of clinical assessment and interventions, community visits and group discussions. Five Level I Fieldwork courses provide the students with over 200 hours of observational experiences. Two Level II Fieldwork courses allow the students to practice (6 months, full-time) under the direct supervision of licensed occupational therapists in hospital, school, clinic and community settings.
