Division of Occupational Therapy

Mission

The fundamental mission of the Occupational Therapy program is consistent with that of the University and the College of Health.  The program seeks to transmit, discover and investigate knowledge--both old and new--related to occupation, occupational therapy, occupational science and society in general and to provide the highest quality education to students of occupational therapy, based on contemporary theory, practice and technologies. 

The program seeks to provide service to the academic, professional and general communities in which the Occupational Therapy Program is involved and address the needs for occupational therapy in the community, state and region.  This will be accomplished by educating entry-level practitioners and other related professionals and providing consultative, advocacy and disability prevention services to the community.
