Post-Baccalaureate Pathway (DrOT)
A pathway for those who have already earned a bachelor’s degree and satisfied all prerequisite courses.
Post-Baccalaureate Masters Pathway (MOT)
Earn a Master of Occupational Therapy degree in just 2 ½ years of full-time study once you’ve satisfied all prerequisite courses.
Accreditation
Both the Master of Occupational Therapy program (MOT) and the Doctor of Occupational Therapy (DrOT) programs are fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA). acote is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
