Programs
The Auerbach School of Occupational Therapy (ASOT) offers two entry-level degree options for individuals seeking a career in occupational therapy. The entry-level degree required for occupational therapy practice is the master's level as of 2007.
1. A combined BS/MSOT degree can be earned by individuals who have not completed an undergraduate degree in any area of study. Upon completion of ASOT prerequisites and University Studies requirements, the student can complete the professional phase of the program on a full time basis in 30 months. Part time study options are available on an individual basis. Upon successful completion of the BS portion of the program (126 semester hours), the student will be awarded a Bachelor of Science in Health Science. After successful completion of the remaining courses (36 semester hours), the student will earn a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (MSOT) degree (total of 162 semester hours).
2. Students with a completed bachelor's degree in a field of study other than occupational therapy may directly enter the 30-month program (93 semester hours) at the graduate level and earn a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy.
ASOT prepares students to become outstanding occupational therapy practitioners in varied health, educational, and community settings. The academic curriculum includes a significant focus on practice and emphasizes reflective learning by actively doing. The faculty works collaboratively with each student to develop strategies which enhance the student's learning and success in the profession. The MSOT provides the practitioner with the entry-level knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary for practice, supervision, research, and/or teaching.
