The occupational therapy (ot) program offers a combined bachelor's/master's degree and a post-professional master's degree.

Occupational therapy (ot) uses everyday activities as the means of helping people to achieve or regain independence. For the person with a physical disability, the first focus is on performing critical daily activities, such as dressing, grooming, bathing, and eating. Once these skills are mastered, the typical occupational therapy program is built around the skills needed to perform a person's daily responsibilities, such as participating in education, caring for a home and family, or seeking and maintaining employment.
