Occupational Therapy Programs and Degrees Optimizing Participation
We are proud of our work preparing you for a dynamic career in occupational therapy. Our nationally ranked program is because of our dedication to academic excellence, and our deep understanding of what you need to be the next leaders in your field.
Occupational Therapy Programs
We offer two distinct academic programs. The OTD focuses on preparing you for licensure and practice as an occupational therapist. The Ph.D. is geared toward careers in research and academia.
OT Prep Project
The OT Prep Project at CSU addresses the growing need for school-based occupational therapists to support children with disabilities in public schools. This program recruits and trains OT students from underrepresented groups to work with school-aged children (ages 5–21) who have high-intensity needs, equipping them to make a meaningful impact in their communities.
