The Occupational Therapy Program at Barry University offers an innovative curriculum that leads to a Master of Science degree and prepares you for certification as a registered occupational therapist. On-campus occupational therapy courses are scheduled on two weekends each month in the fall, spring, and summer semesters, so that adults may continue to work or raise their families while preparing for a professional career.

The program integrates face to face and distance education.

Students complete a 12-week full-time fieldwork placement in a general rehabilitation or skilled nursing center after the first year of study, and another full-time fieldwork placement after the second year. The program can be completed in two and a half years.

No credit is awarded for experiential learning or work experience.

Students are required to have computer access and a webcam.

The faculty at Barry University work as occupational therapists while teaching on weekends. Their dedication to alternative education for adult learners makes them unique.

At some point in our lives, each of us will access health care services. The quality of the care we receive is a direct reflection of our health care professionals. Barry University’s College of Nursing and Health Sciences has a long history of preparing compassionate health care practitioners who are committed to excellence in practice. Our faculty, supported by an outstanding staff, are dedicated to preparing self-directed graduates who can make a difference in the community as highly competent, caring, culturally-sensitive, health care professionals. Our College features nationally recognized undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs in a variety of health care specialties. Our motto, “Study, Reflect, Act” affirms our Catholic and Dominican intellectual tradition. We also believe our values and understanding of the world are enriched by ecumenical and interfaith dialog. We offer a university experience that fosters individual and communal transformation where learning leads to knowledge and truth, reflection leads to informed action, and a commitment to social justice leads to collaborative service.
