麻豆视频APK

Rooted in the Catholic, Franciscan tradition of 麻豆视频APK, the Master of Occupational Therapy program is guided by a deep conviction that every person possesses inherent dignity and the capacity for meaningful participation in life. We believe occupation—the everyday activities through which people find purpose, connection, and identity—is both the means and the measure of human flourishing. 

Our mission is to transform lives through skilled, heartfelt occupational therapy. Grounded in Franciscan values of dignity, service, justice, and responsible stewardship, the MOT program prepares entry-level practitioners who approach each person holistically, reason from evidence, advocate with compassion, and serve communities with ethical excellence. Students are formed not only as competent clinicians but as reflective professionals and collaborative partners across disciplines and communities. 

Our vision is to exemplify leadership in occupational therapy education through innovation, evidence-based practice, and interprofessional collaboration—preparing graduates who honor the whole person and advance meaningful occupation across all populations and across a lifetime. In doing so, we carry forward 麻豆视频APK's enduring commitment to preparing transformative leaders for service to the world.

The Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) degree program at 麻豆视频APK is a six (6) semester graduate program. Students can begin graduate occupational therapy classes and, in the first year, decide between the Master of Occupational Therapy and Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) tracks. Both degrees enable graduates to be eligible for the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT®) as an Occupational Therapist Registered (OTR®) and state licensure to practice.

The MOT curriculum is organized along a deliberate developmental arc that reflects the program’s core beliefs about professional learning. This arc provides the organizing logic for course content, sequencing, and evaluation across the full program. Each phase of the arc has a distinct developmental purpose and is characterized by specific curricular content, instructional modalities, and assessment strategies appropriate to the student’s level of professional development. 

The sequencing is intentional and cannot be rearranged without disrupting the curriculum's developmental logic. Early phases establish the conceptual and identity foundations required for meaningful engagement with clinical content; intermediate phases integrate concepts across themes and translate knowledge into clinical skill; later phases apply integrated competencies in increasingly complex and autonomous clinical contexts; and the final phase launches the student into professional practice with a formed professional identity and demonstrated entry-level competency.

Identity Verification

麻豆视频APK uses a layered, multi-method approach to verify that the student who registers for a course or program is the same student who participates in and receives academic credit. 麻豆视频APK does not assess any additional charges to students for the identity verification processes described in this standard. This policy is communicated to prospective and enrolled students through the OT Student Manual and course syllabi. Should any future identity verification tool requiring additional student cost be considered, the program will provide explicit advance notification to students at the time of registration or enrollment.

Upon acceptance to the 麻豆视频APK graduate occupational therapy program, students must submit a non-refundable deposit by the date identified in their admission letter. At that time, students will receive additional information on the steps necessary to complete the required health records, background check, and drug screen prior to matriculation.

Students enrolled in the Graduate Occupational Therapy programs are required to participate in various experiences, including fieldwork and competencies, in order to successfully complete the program. Prior to participating in these experiences, all students are required to obtain and pay for a background check and any other mandatory screening processes. Upon completion, students are required to submit necessary documentation via the appropriate vendor, as identified by the department. The timeline for completion of the background checks and other screening processes will be articulated by the program.

Positive results from a criminal background check that are sufficiently severe in nature may result in the inability of a student to progress in the program and may result in dismissal. Examples of sufficiently severe offenses include, but are not limited to; violent felony convictions, convictions for crimes of deception, convictions for sex crimes, and placement on a sex offender registry. Any subsequent criminal arrests that occur after enrollment must be reported to the unit Dean or designee.

Additionally, occupational therapy students who would like to explore if a past event might impact their eligibility for the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy^® Examination are encouraged to go through the process.

Our  substantive change application has been submitted to the accreditor and is pending HLC review. For additional information about 麻豆视频APK's institutional accreditation, contact the Assistant Provost for Accreditation and Administration.

The program must be granted Candidacy Status, have a preaccreditation review, complete an on-site evaluation, and be granted Accreditation Status before its graduates will be eligible to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational therapist administered by the . After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be an Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR).   

In addition, all states require licensure to practice; however, state licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT Certification Examination. A felony conviction may affect a graduate’s ability to sit for the NBCOT certification examination or attain state licensure. Students must complete 24 weeks of Level II fieldwork within 18 months following completion of the didactic portion of the program.

Students enrolled in the Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) program are required to participate in fieldwork experiences in order to successfully complete the program. Prior to participating in fieldwork experiences, all students are required to obtain and pay for a background check and any other mandatory screening processes. Upon completion, students are required to submit necessary documentation via the appropriate vendor, as identified by the department. The timeline for completion of the background checks and other screening processes will be articulated by the program.

Positive results from a criminal background check that are sufficiently severe in nature may result in the inability of a student to progress in the program and may result in dismissal. Examples of sufficiently severe offenses include, but are not limited to; violent felony convictions, convictions for crimes of deception, convictions for sex crimes, and placement on a sex offender registry. Any subsequent criminal arrests that occur after enrollment must be reported to the unit Dean, or designee.

When a student has a positive finding on a criminal background check, they are strongly encouraged to go through the  process. The appropriate personnel on campus and at a fieldwork site will evaluate the information and surrounding circumstances to determine if the student can participate in a fieldwork experience. Although the University will make reasonable efforts to place admitted students in field experiences and internships, it will be up to the host facility to determine whether a student will be allowed to work at that facility. The occupational therapy program will take reasonable steps to find alternate placements, but a failure to place students as a result of a positive criminal background check may result in a student being unable to satisfy the graduation requirements of the program. 

Even if allowed to progress in the program, students should be aware that a criminal record may jeopardize licensure by the State certification body. Students are advised to consult the appropriate certification body corresponding to their intended occupation for more details.   

Successful completion of a program of study does not guarantee licensure, certification, or employment in the relevant occupation.
