Course info

The SJSU Department of Occupational Therapy offers the oldest accredited OT program in the CSU system. Founded in 1943, the Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (MSOT) degree program is designed for those who have already earned a baccalaureate degree in another field. The program of study enables students to obtain the education and degree necessary to be eligible to practice as an occupational therapist. Once the MS degree in Occupational Therapy is complete, including the successful completion of the OCTH 201A and OCTH 201B courses, the student is eligible to sit for the national certification examination. Successful completion of the examination qualifies the candidate to apply for national certification and state licensure.
