Curriculum Courses & Credits

The Occupational Therapy Graduate Program offers a traditional 2.25-year schedule which involves a full-time load taken in a designated sequence.  It is not recommended that students work while in the traditional program.  Students who choose part-time need to understand that work schedules cannot conflict with required courses or fieldwork assignments.  We have also added a new part time schedule that we have always un-officially offered in the past.  Below is an example of what a 3-year or a 4-year part time schedule would look like. (These schedules to be added at a future date)

               Full-time Track               3-year Part-time Track             4-year Part-Time Track

The part time schedule is a great option for students with families or students who will want to continue to work while in the Program.  There are two options for the part time schedule; 1) 4-years complete part time schedule, or 2) the first 2-years part time schedule, the last year full time, 3 years total.  If there are any questions, please feel free to email us and we can further discuss the part time or full time tracks.

**Please note that this schedule is subject to change and may not reflect the semesters that courses will be taught in starting in 2007**
