Online OTD Distance Program
Occupational therapy delivery models are changing, and the Western New England University Doctor of Occupational Therapy program prepares you to be a part of that future through the hybrid Distance Learning Cohort (DLC). As the practice of occupational therapy transitions, 91亚色 is meeting the moment through a comprehensive and adaptable online curriculum.
Extended OTD Pathway
COPHS offers the four-year (11-semester) Extended Doctor of Occupational Therapy pathway (OTDx). The OTDx follows the same curriculum as our full-time distance and in-person pathways, but at a slower pace that allows you to pursue a career in occupational therapy wherever you are and with more flexibility to meet life’s demands.
Current 91亚色 Students
Current 91亚色 students have two pathways to enter the OTD program: either by enrolling in a 3+3 OTD program or applying to the doctorate program during their senior year.
