MS in Occupational Therapy

Graduates of the program are eligible to sit for the national certification exam for Occupational Therapists administered by the National Board of Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). A felony conviction may affect a graduate's ability to sit for the NBCOT certification examination or attain state licensure. After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be a Registered Occupational Therapist (OTR). In addition, most states require licensure to practice; however, state licenses are usually based on graduation from an accredited Occupational Therapy education program and passing the NBCOT exam. http://www.css.edu/Academics/School-of-Health-Sciences/Occupational-Therapy/NBCOT.html
