Occupational Therapy

  • Program Overview

    The Occupational Therapy Program offers opportunities for in- depth study of, and clinical experiences with, clients of all ages who have limited capacity to perform to their expectations in their everyday lives or are at risk of developing a limiting condition. The goal of occupational therapy is to assist individuals to achieve their maximum level of independent living and quality of life through remediation of, adaptation to, or prevention of physical, cognitive, perceptual or mental health functional limitations. Occupational therapy utilizes the consultative process in addition to direct intervention and works with populations and systems as well as individuals. 

    Program Notice

    At this time, we will not have any openings for post-baccalaureate (Masters level) Occupational Therapy students to begin in Fall 2013.  We do, however, expect a limited number of spots in Fall 2014.
