Master of Science Occupational Therapy
St. Scholastica’s MS in Occupational Therapy degree will help you empower people of all ages to thrive in daily activities. Through our OT program’s personalized strategies, including therapeutic interventions, environment analysis and evidence-based solutions, you’ll help clients regain independence and live life to the fullest.
The faculty and curriculum prepared me very well for the certification exam, as well as transitioning from student to Occupational Therapist.

MSOT vs. OTD — Which Program is Right for You?
The MSOT degree offers a faster pathway to entry-level practice, requiring six semesters (2 years) to complete. Alternatively, the entry-level OTD program takes eight semesters (2.8 years) and includes advanced coursework in research and leadership, culminating in a capstone project. OTD graduates have additional career opportunities in teaching, research and leadership due to their extended training and specialized skills.
