Dynamic Careers in Occupational Therapy
Upon earning your bachelor’s degree, you have two paths to enter the field: a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy or a Doctor of Occupational Therapy, which blends similar competencies with research, leadership skills, policy and program development knowledge, and mentorship. Once on the job, occupational therapists assist individuals who, through physical illness, injury, age, or a congenital or developmental disability, experience difficulties in carrying out activities of daily living.
