The CSU Occupational Therapy Program welcomes your interest in our academic program. If you are concerned with helping others achieve competence, meaning, and self-fulfillment in their daily lives, then our OT Program may be an excellent choice for you. We believe that the quality of our instruction and services for our students prepares them to be dedicated occupational therapists.

Graduates of the MOT Program will be prepared to work in both medical and community-based settings and to assume diverse roles including clinical practice, consultation, teaching, management, participation in research and advocacy activities. The ability to interact effectively on a variety of teams will be emphasized throughout coursework. The curriculum is designed using an adult learning model and integrates didactic, laboratory and clinical experiences through seven consecutive semesters.

Occupational therapy is a challenging, yet rewarding field. We hope you will consider applying for our Program and joining us in this noble profession.
