Overview

After earning their master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Iona University, licensed occupational therapists help people with illnesses, injuries and disabilities manage everyday activities like walking, getting dressed, cooking and writing.

What You’ll Learn

Iona University’s MS in Occupational Therapy program follows ACOTE accreditation standards and educates students as generalists prepared for licensure exams. You'll build a strong OT foundation and go beyond with our interdisciplinary coursework. Our program consistently weaves community engagement and innovation into your training so you will be prepared to work with clients across the lifespan in a wide range of clinical settings like hospitals, schools and assisted living centers.

Our master’s degree curriculum centers around four core competencies of an ethical, client-centered OT practice:

Occupational development and performance
Assessment and intervention processes
Evidence-based practice skills
Habits for reflective practice

Throughout the seven semesters, we’ll also teach you how technology can enhance your practice, serving as a tool for client education, assessment, intervention and documentation of services.

After completing their MS degree, our Occupational Therapy graduates are ready for their licensure exam and to pursue fulfilling OT careers. Throughout your time at Iona, you will experience an inclusive occupational therapy education offering abundant clinical opportunities and holistic coursework exploring big-picture questions about accessibility and aging.
