Department of Occupational Therapy

The master of occupational therapy program will give you the necessary cutting-edge knowledge and skills to make an impact on a broad range of patient/client problems. University of the Sciences is one of just a few schools in the country where you can begin your OT career in your first year of college.

Meaningful, Goal-Directed Activities

Occupational therapy focuses on helping people with physical, developmental and behavioral disabilities participate effectively in meaningful and goal-directed activities. Occupational therapists work in medical and nonmedical settings, such as hospitals, schools and homeless shelters, as well as in community agencies and clients’ homes.
