Master of Science in Occupational TherapyThe Occupational Therapy (OT) Program at CSUDH started off with a degree in Bachelor of Science (BS), which was awarded accreditation status by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Accreditation (ACOTE) in 1998. The BSOT transitioned to an entirely new entry-level Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (MSOT) in 2004 with accreditation awarded by ACOTE in 2006. Since then, the MSOT Program has grown from the first graduating class of 23 in 2007 to more recent graduating cohorts of approximately 66-69 per year. Overall, the continued growth of the OT Program displays how the department is valued by the University as well as supported by our community and clinical affiliates. In 2019, the passing of AB 829 into law allowed our department to further expand and make accessible advanced education in occupational therapy at the doctoral level. We are very proud of our program curriculum and confident that it will provide a great foundation for occupational therapy professional competence and success. Through team effort, the occupational therapy department faculty, students, and staff strive for the highest level of achievements. Together, we are quite enthusiastic in being part of our students’ journey towards becoming occupational therapy practitioners and leaders aligned with the following department mission, core values, and commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Mission: We educate and prepare students on best practice, scholarship, research, advocacy and innovation to address the complex human needs of health, wellness, restoration and adaptation for optimal life engagement throughout the lifespan. We prioritize building collaborative communities, diversifying the profession and facilitating a culture of service to all populations. - see more at: https://www.csudh.edu/ot/ |
