Temple University's College of Public Health offers a top-ranked Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) program that educates future practitioners in enhancing clients' health and daily living through purposeful activities. The curriculum teaches students to assess functional requirements and create customized interventions that promote independence. This professional entry-level program readies graduates for the national certification exam (NBCOT), the gateway to becoming licensed occupational therapists.
Occupational therapy enables people of all ages to address limitations, make informed activity choices, and improve their daily functioning and wellbeing. Faculty mentor students in developing five key professional identities: active engager, creative innovator, continuous learner, insightful perceiver, and critical thinker.
Clinical competence is built through hands-on experiences: Starting in year one, students complete supervised fieldwork placements. The program emphasizes understanding societal needs, healthcare policies, and industry trends to ensure rewarding career preparation.
With a perfect graduate employment record, alumni enter the field as competent practitioners serving diverse populations across educational, community, and healthcare settings. Graduates work in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, schools, mental health clinics, disability service centers, and various community organizations.
