"My favorite thing about the OTD program is that our professors create such an amazing and special learning environment for us. Our staff and professors know us personally and make sure to check in, especially during big exam weeks. This year, my dad had a severe stroke, but the professors have worked with me academically and emotionally to ensure that I don't fall behind and continue to progress and excel in my classes!"

Bella Lowell, Class of 2028

Cohort Model

You'll take courses and complete the Doctor of Occupational Therapy program with a group of approximately 30 other students. Because your cohort remains together throughout the program, you'll have the opportunity to develop a strong sense of community, participate in collaborative learning, study for exams with peers and practice treatment on each other. Your knowledge base and clinical skills will increase with each successive term as you progress through courses and integrated clinical experiences together.
