Occupational Therapy Degrees

Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) Programs

Occupational therapy doctorates. Entry-level OTD programs prepare students for initial entry into the profession; post-professional OTD programs are for practicing therapists. They are listed separately.

Entry-level OTDPost-professional OTDEntry-level vs post-professional OTD

An entry-level OTD and a post-professional OTD are different programs, and an OTD is not a PhD. A doctoral degree is not required for every OT license; check your state board.

Results are listed alphabetically. There is no price ranking: tuition with different bases (per credit, per term, per year, whole program) or fee categories is not comparable. Online programs are never counted as physically located in a state or city. Items marked Sponsored are paid placements; they never change accreditation information, verification or order.
