The Occupational Therapy Master's Program spans eight semesters (30 months), integrating comprehensive clinical training with academic studies. The final two semesters are dedicated to full-time Level II fieldwork. Participants should budget for extra costs including textbooks, course fees, accommodation, and transportation during clinical placements.
An optional thesis track allows students to conduct independent research. Those choosing this path must declare their intention by the conclusion of the first program year. Thesis candidates will postpone OT 795 Level II Fieldwork enrollment until finishing their research project.
Upon graduation, candidates qualify to take the NBCOT national certification exam. Passing this examination grants the Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR) credential. While certification is essential, state licensure is typically required for practice. Note that prior felony convictions might impact eligibility for both NBCOT certification and state licensure.
