Overview

The Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (MScOT) offered by the University of Toronto emphasizes the application of theory and research evidence to clinical practice through rigorous studies in occupational therapy and research production and utilization.

Graduates are eligible to write the certification examination of the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists, a requirement for registration with the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario and most other professional regulatory colleges in Canada. Practice in another country generally requires the graduate to pass the licensing requirement specific to that country.

Graduates are eligible to:

practise independently in a variety of roles, such as consultants and case managers, and in a range of settings, such as acute care, interdisciplinary programmes, private practice, and primary health care;
supervise rehabilitation assistants, OT aides, or other support workers;
use principles of research-based practice to guide and evaluate service delivery;
contribute to research that will advance the knowledge base of the discipline;
assume management roles;
take leadership roles in the profession;
take leadership roles in health care and other sectors including social services, education, and labour;
fill academic-practitioner positions; and
pursue doctoral studies and careers in academia or clinical research.

General requirements

You must have completed an appropriate bachelor’s degree, or its equivalent, from a recognized university, with a minimum mid‑B average in the final year (i.e., 5 full-course equivalents [FCEs]) before being permitted to register in the MScOT program, if offered admission.
The mid‑B average is a minimum requirement; a higher GPA, based on the last 10 FCEs completed (ORPAS refers to this as your “sub-GPA”), will be required to be competitive in the admission process. The average entering GPA of successful applicants, based on the last 10 FCEs completed, is expected to range from 3.70 to 3.80 on the 4.0 ORPAS scale, as calculated by ORPAS.
