Convenient Options for Practicing OTs
The University of Indianapolis, School of Occupational Therapy offers the Master of Health Science in Occupational Therapy and the Doctor of Health Science degrees. These advanced programs serve occupational therapists who wish to improve their clinical, teaching, administrative, and research skills while still practicing.
Progressive, full-time faculty teach in the graduate programs, representing a variety of practice specialties. In addition to the full-time faculty, nationally recognized experts serve as adjunct faculty, making available to students the latest research, theories, and clinical techniques.
The MHS and DHS degrees offer a strong clinical focus with some requirements in research and administration. MHS degree program participants may take up to 7 years to complete the 36-credit-hour degree. DHS degree program participants may take up to 10 years to complete the degree. The DHS degree is awarded upon completion of 30 credit hours of master's-level course work and 42 credit hours of doctoral-level course work totaling 72 credit hours.
Our program is attractive to professionals wishing to maintain their clinical practice, as each course requires only one weekend in attendance at the University of Indianapolis with pre-course and post-course independent study required, making it convenient for clinicians located throughout the country to attend classes.
Postprofessional OT students may also register for postprofessional courses in physical therapy and gerontology.
