Description

Our Master of Occupational Therapy BRIDGE program provides an avenue for certified occupational therapy assistants to become licensed occupational therapists. If you are an assistant with a bachelor’s degree, you can advance your career opportunities with the bridge program and open the door to expanded clinical roles, more specialized credentialing, upward mobility in leadership roles, an increase in salary, or teaching positions. Our hybrid model provides students with flexibility as working professionals while still having three onsite visits to campus for collaborative learning opportunities with other occupational therapists as well as interprofessional collaboration with the University’s optometry and counseling programs.
