The post professional occupational therapy program will enable the graduate to identify the theoretical bases of occupational therapy and relate these concepts to a specific area of occupational therapy practice.
Students select one of four areas of emphasis for advanced study.
The area of emphasis will help to direct the graduate student in selecting elective and cognate offerings, and in turn shaping the last six hours of Research done in the form of a Special Project or Thesis. Students are encouraged to draw on their own professional experiences to personalize major projects within their course work. These courses should be completed prior to beginning the last 6 hours of research. Total Program requirements are 30 hours. Each graduate occupational therapy student has a planned program recommended by the Graduate Coordinator and approved by the Graduate School.
