The mission of the CSUDH MS in Occupational Therapy Program is to prepare entry-level clinical practitioners with knowledge, skills, and understanding necessary to practice in traditional as well as emerging occupational therapy roles with an excellent foundation for later specialization and lifelong learning.
The Master of Science in Occupational Therapy Program has been planned with enthusiasm to help prepare students for a professional career focused on helping people achieve skills and utilize resources to live independent and meaningful lives. The program is structured towards producing client-centered therapists with enhanced critical thinking abilities. It aims to produce professionals, who can research, develop, implement, and evaluate procedures utilizing a high degree of independent judgment and to consult where appropriate with other members of the health care team.
Graduate studies in Occupational Therapy prepare students for a professional career focused on helping people achieve skills and utilize resources to live independent and meaningful lives.
The Master of Science in Occupational Therapy degree is a full-time Cohort Program. Students within a specific cohort matriculate together and are expected to take the same courses every semester as well complete the requirements of the program at the same time. MSOT students are assigned to specific sections and are given their class schedule by the department. One cohort of 66-70 students is admitted per year, which starts every spring semester.
A total of 7 consecutive semesters (including summer):
Students enrolled in the MSOT degree program must maintain a GPA of 3.0 or above.

Scholarships are normally awarded during the spring and summer for the upcoming academic year. During that time, scholarship award notifications will be sent and will include the name and amount of the scholarship. Consideration for additional scholarship awards will continue throughout the academic year.
If you are selected as a recipient of a scholarship, the scholarship will be added to your financial aid offer. Students are assigned a Cost of Attendance (Budget) based on their housing plans and degree plan (undergraduate, credential, graduate). If necessary, the Financial Aid Office will reduce self-help aid, like loans, when the student has been offered the maximum possible in all forms of financial aid (grants and loans).
The Financial Aid Office notifies Student Financial Services of the scholarship payment, which will be applied to your student account. If you do not owe a balance for the semester, then a refund will be issued either by direct deposit or you will be mailed a paper check. Release of scholarships funds begins the week before the semester begins.
