The Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) program at Western New England University is responding to the national and international call for changing the way healthcare is delivered, and the way healthcare professionals are educated. Rapidly changing healthcare systems are demanding more of entry-level practitioners. The Western New England University OTD curriculum is meeting this call by providing academic preparation beyond a generalist level, including advanced graduate knowledge, skills, and fieldwork/experiential opportunities.

The entry-level OTD is a three-year program completed over 8 semesters, including summer sessions. It is designed for students who will have a bachelor’s degree and all prerequisite courses completed prior to beginning the program.

Scholarships are available!
