Post-Professional Occupational Therapy Doctorate, Online

Our world-renowned faculty aims to create opportunities for occupational therapists in the United States and abroad, to engage in rigorous knowledge acquisition with real-life applications to their current or anticipated professional roles, to see themselves as leaders, and to have a substantial impact on the profession.

After completing the program, our students have enhanced knowledge and skills to take on many different roles and even create new arenas of practice. Our graduates further advance occupational therapy theory and practice by integrating knowledge from various fields, such as occupational science, business, management, leadership, epidemiology, rehabilitation, public health, and neuroscience, to respond to the current and future needs of individuals, organizations, and populations. The affordable program combines rigor, flexibility, and individualized mentorship to achieve these outcomes.​

The PP-OTD Program recognizes the inherent value of diversity in human experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives. Our program is committed to creating an inclusive and culturally sensitive learning environment that values and respects the diverse identities of our faculty, students, clients, and communities. By promoting diversity and equity, we aim to address disparities in access to and participation in occupations, ensuring that all humans can fully engage in and benefit from the transformative power of occupational therapy.
