Other requirements

General requirements

MSOT or MOT degree from an ACOTE-accredited program (or equivalent recognized by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists, WFOT).
Occupational therapy licensure (or international equivalent approved by WFOT). Current master’s students may apply but cannot formally matriculate to the OTD program until they are licensed. Students may be provisionally admitted to the OTD program and accumulate credits toward graduation for one semester while required documentation is being prepared or approved.
The competitive admissions process also includes evaluation of the GPA, coursework, and professional experiences, as well as a statement of personal interests.

Practicing occupational therapists with a bachelor’s degree may be admitted on a case-by-case basis.
