Change Lives With an Occupational Therapy Degree

Spalding University’s Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) program in the Auerbach School of Occupational Therapy (ASOT) prepares students to meet the needs of the times with compassionate action based upon best rehabilitation principles and evidence-based practice through community outreach, service, and research. The OTD offers students the opportunity to advance their preparation and application of in-depth knowledge in practice skills, research skills, administration, leadership, program and policy development, advocacy, education, and the application of theory.

The Occupational Therapy Doctorate will be the single point of entry into the profession of occupational therapy in the near future with an emphasis on scholarship, leadership and enhanced practitioner autonomy. We offer an entry-level OTD and a post-professional OTD.

The entry-level OTD has a maximum of 35 students per cohort. You will move throughout the 3-year program alongside our peers. The small group setting ensures high standards and accountability for both students and faculty.
