    Duration

About

The full-time program includes two years of coursework on campus (including two summers) followed by six months of level II fieldwork. Students graduating from the program are eligible to sit for the national certification examination administered by the NBCOT.  After successful completion of the exam, the individual will be credentialed as an occupational therapist, registered (OTR).  Most states require a license to practice occupational therapy.  State licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT Certification Examination and additional open-booked testing on the state law.  A felony conviction may affect a graduate’s ability to take the NBCOT certification exam or to obtain state licensure.
