What You'll Learn

As an occupational therapist, you'll help people flourish in incredibly tangible ways. You'll guide your patients as they regain fine motor skills—and gain hope and confidence in their everyday lives.

At Calvin, you'll take courses and gain experience that prepares you for a masters (MSOT) or doctorate-level graduate program in occupational therapy. You can study at Calvin for four years—or apply to begin graduate studies after three years through our partnership program with the top-ranked Washington University School of Medicine. Whichever path you choose, you'll be prepared to thrive in your career while making a profound difference in people's lives.
