What can I do with a major in Occupational Therapy ?

The Occupational Therapy major seeks to prepare graduates to think logically and creatively, act professionally and ethically, analyze ideas and situations, and solve problems encountered in their service delivery as practitioners, supervisors, and managers. Like many healthcare-related majors, the curriculum is designed to prepare students to perform a specific function within the health care delivery system. It seeks to provide strong, specific training targeted to a very specific job title. Students selecting this major typically have had some exposure to the employment field, either as a volunteer or as a patient.

At Alvernia College, the mission of the occupational therapy bachelor of science degree program is to provide the broad-base of occupational therapy knowledge and skills along with a strong liberal arts education to prepare graduates for entry into professional level occupational therapy practice. The OT program is accredited by The Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA).
