Overview
As a student in Nazareth's occupational therapy degree program, you learn how to develop or improve a person’s sensory, physical, cognitive/perceptual, and/or psychosocial abilities. You learn to modify the environment to help the person to be as self-sufficient and productive as possible.
The Occupational Therapy program at Nazareth College prepares you for entry-level general practice and develops your initial skills in areas of specialization such as early intervention, school-based practice, neurological rehabilitation, environmental analysis and modification, ergonomics, and treatment of upper extremity and orthopedic impairments.
Highlights
- Occupational therapy students consistently have 100% graduation rates and high pass rates on the certification exam. Every student who has graduated from Nazareth's OT program has passed the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT).
- The curriculum offers you a wide range of interprofessional academic and clinical experiences, including an on-campus OT clinic, clinical outreach activities, and fieldwork opportunities.
- All occupational therapy majors take a gross anatomy course that includes dissection of a cadaver.
