Welcome to Occupational Therapy

Eastern Michigan University's Occupational Therapy Program has a longstanding tradition of excellence. Since 1941, the OT program has been educating students to be competent and caring occupational therapists.


Occupational therapists work with people of all ages whose lives have been disrupted by physical injury or accident, a psychiatric illness or developmental disability. Career opportunities are available in a variety of settings, including community agencies, hospitals, rehabilitation and long-term care facilities, schools, home health care, correctional institutions and industry.

We currently offer the following degrees:

Master of Occupational Therapy (Entry-Level)
This is the Program for you if you do not have an undergraduate degree in Occupational Therapy.

Master of Science (Advanced Practice)
This is the program for you if you already have an undergraduate degree in OT.

The EMU Occupational Therapy Program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE)
of the American Occupational therapy Association (AOTA).
