Overview

The Occupational Therapy program will provide you with a strong foundation in culturally competent and compassionate care, along with the knowledge and skills necessary to become a highly qualified and certified occupational therapist. Your studies will focus on working with people across the lifespan, helping them develop or reclaim the skills to do things they want, need or have to do through the therapeutic use of daily activities.

In addition to a robust curriculum, Appalachian State University’s Master of Science in Occupational Therapy students will complete two 12-week fieldwork placements with regional occupational therapy providers, working under the supervision of faculty and staff in the Beaver College of Health Sciences.
