Master of Occupational Therapy

Program Overview

Our goal in the Master of Occupational Therapy program is to prepare you as an outstanding occupational therapist, who will positively impact communities by empowering others to reach their highest potential through leadership, best practice, advocacy, and innovation. We emphasize the importance of serving all clients with the best care possible.

You’ll develop the skills necessary to enable people (persons, groups, or populations) to do their day-to-day occupations for the purpose of improving or enabling participation. (OTPF-4, 2020) By combining classroom, laboratory, and supervised clinic-based instruction, our courses train you for a wide range of occupational therapy settings.

Through our program you’ll be able to:

  • Demonstrate advocacy skills to be an effective change-maker in surrounding communities
  • Use best practice for the evaluation, intervention, and measurement of outcomes for individuals or communities
  • Effectively and efficiently solve occupation-based problems
  • Develop leadership skills
  • Effectively communicate and collaborate in a variety of communities

Students in the MOT program will have the opportunity to explore the entry-level Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTDe) degree. At the conclusion of the second semester, students will be given the choice to continue in the MOT program or declare interest in the OTDe program. Students who declare interest in the OTDe will be evaluated by OT faculty to determine eligibility to enroll in OTDe coursework.

This is a full time graduate professional program taught in a blended format. Students interact with their classmates and professors online before and after in person classes, which focus on active learning and/or lab activities. Students apply to and enroll in one of three tracks, as determined by their educational background:

  • Accelerated
    • Students starting as a freshman at CUW looking to earn a bachelor's and master's degree in 4.5 years
  • Bridge
    • COTAs looking to further their education and opportunities as an OTR
  • Post-baccalaureate
    • Applicants holding a bachelor's degree
