Occupational Therapy
Effective Fall 2025, the M.S.O.T. has been updated to meet accreditation standards for the 21st century. See the revised two-year, 64 credit program curriculum here.
Occupational therapists (OTs) help their clients regain lost abilities, develop new
skills and live life to the fullest. That work can take many forms — from serving
children with development disabilities, to helping a patient relearn daily tasks after
a stroke, to working with people who have physical and mental disabilities.
As the first entry-level master’s program of its kind in New Jersey, our Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (M.S.O.T.) program has shaped hundreds of students into competent general practitioners.
With our unique blend of academics and clinical experience, you’ll be well-prepared to join this booming healthcare field. Our occupational therapy students do exceptionally well on the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) exam, and many have professional occupational therapy job offers before they graduate.
