The Masters of Occupational Therapy Program

School of Allied Medical Professions
The Ohio State University

The Division of Occupational Therapy offers a Masters of Occupational Therapy (MOT) degree program.  Our program requires two years (seven quarters) of full time study, plus six months of full-time fieldwork.  Entering students have completed a bachelor’s degree, the prerequisite courses, and 40 or more hours of volunteer experience with an occupational therapist in at least two different settings.   

We offer a full time program in which students experience interrelated didactic courses, laboratory activities, and clinical experiences each quarter.

Features of our program include:

•   A nationally known faculty with expertise in pediatrics, rehabilitation, gerontology, mental health, assistive technology and adult developmental disabilities.
•   Access to the laboratories and libraries of a medical college.
•   A family-like atmosphere in the School with the advantages of being part of a large university.
•    A 55 year OT program history of successful graduates! 
•    The research resources and capacity of a research extensive university.
•    The MOT class of 2006 achieved a 100% pass rate on the National Board for Certification of Occupational Therapists Examination (NBCOT)!
