Program Overview

If you’re a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant looking to advance your career, the Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (MSOT) Bridge Program at Keiser University can help put you on the road to success. Designed specifically for health care providers with OTA credentials, the program builds on your professional experience and develops your managerial, program assessment, research, and occupation-based evaluation and intervention planning skills while preparing you for leadership roles in occupational therapy.

The MSOT Bridge Program combines hybrid instruction with clinical learning experiences to prepare you to take the National Board of Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) exam. Upon passing the NBCOT exam, you
will be ready to function as a generalist occupational therapist within the profession.

While pursuing your master’s degree, you’ll also earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Occupational Health after 120 undergraduate semester credit hours, inclusive of pre-requisite courses.

Program Objectives

Through a combination of academic courses and full-time fieldwork experiences, you’ll learn to articulate OT theory, analyze practice-related evidence, and apply evaluation strategies, so you can effectively plan and implement OT services and treatment. You’ll also expand your skills for developing and modifying occupation-based intervention plans for individual clients based on assessment results, priorities and discharge needs, environmental factors, and expected outcomes. Additionally, students collaborate with peers to interpret and apply interdisciplinary, evidence-based research to OT practice to explore how science informs practice and practice informs science.
