Doctoral
OTD - Occupational Therapy Doctorate
On Campus
 
The Occupational Therapy Doctoral degree will lead students on a career path of excellence in practice, advocacy for the profession, leadership, and contribution to occupational therapy knowledge through research. Graduates will be autonomous decision makers using contemporary practice skills. Graduates will apply their education to a continuum of professional opportunities from programs aimed at prevention through those remediating health problems with the ultimate goal of maintaining and improving the quality of life of the public. The goal for the OTD program is for the student as a future therapist to have a personal commitment to the advancement of occupational therapy practice, advocacy, and research. The program's faculty view the graduate student as a future colleague. Like graduate programs of high quality in other fields, the OTD program brings faculty and students together in a joint effort to improve the field, not just to impart or absorb information. A graduate program involves the building of knowledge as well as the attainment of knowledge. Every course in the OTD program requires abstract reasoning as well as self-direction. As the OTD student acquires knowledge and skill, an important role is to teach fellow students. The graduate student not only learns about the past and present of the profession, but also shares in the design of the future of the profession. Upon graduation, the newly certified and licensed occupational therapist is well prepared to begin a career of excellence in practice, advocacy, and research.
