Degrees Offered
The USC Mrs. T.H. Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy offers a minor in Occupational Science, a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy, and a Master of Arts in Occupational Therapy. The Master of Arts in Occupational Therapy is offered for students continuing their education following an undergraduate degree in occupational therapy, for students whose first degree is in another field, and also for certified occupational therapists seeking a post-professional degree. The division also offers a post-professional Occupational Therapy Clinical Doctorate (OTD) and a PhD in Occupational Science.
The USC Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy master’s-level professional degree program is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education® (ACOTE), c/o Accreditation Department, American Occupational Therapy Association, Inc., 6116 Executive Boulevard, Suite 200, North Bethesda, Maryland 20852-4929, (301) 652-6611 x2914, acoteonline.org. Entry into occupational therapy practice is at the graduate degree level only. In order to practice, students in the bachelor’s program must earn an MA degree in Occupational Therapy, successfully complete a minimum of 24 full-time weeks of clinical fieldwork, sit for the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy® (NBCOT) exam and apply for a license.
