The University of Minnesota’s Occupational Therapy program has led the OT profession nationally and internationally since it was first accredited in 1946.
Our lengthy history delivering curriculum in a hybrid learning format – both in-class and online – has contributed to outstanding academic outcomes, and a seamless transition to off-site learning during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The OT program’s graduation rate is close to 100 percent, and employers in a variety of settings are actively seeking to hire our graduates to improve the life skills of the people they serve.
Statement of Our Commitment to Inclusion and Equity
Occupational Therapy Program faculty and staff are unequivocally committed to racial justice and equal opportunity. We will continue to work toward removing barriers and systems that impede or limit the access that students of color have so that they may achieve their full potential. We strive to create an effective and encouraging learning environment, where every student experiences a sense of belonging and fulfillment. And we pledge to work today and every day in support of the role that education plays in advancing a more just and equitable society.
