Bachelor of Science in Therapeutic Studies and Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (BS/MSOT)

Combining a liberal arts and professional education, the five-year, combined BS/MSOT program leads to the Bachelor of Science in Therapeutic Studies after the fourth year and the Master of Science in Occupational Therapy after five years of coursework and a minimum of 24 weeks of supervised fieldwork.

The student is then eligible to apply to take the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) National Certification Examination.

Successful completion of the NBCOT examination qualifies the graduate to enter practice as an Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR).
