The Occupational Therapy Graduate Program is widely recognized as a leader in entry-level occupational therapy education.

The program is ranked by U.S. News & World Report as falling in the top 20 occupational therapy programs in the country.

A maximum of 24 students are accepted each fall. Small classes mean that students get to know faculty very well, forming a community of learning. Our six full-time faculty have all earned Ph.D. degrees and are active in research as well as teaching. All have experience in diverse areas of occupational therapy practice and make significant contributions to occupational therapy as well as to other health professions.
