News from the Office of Graduate Studies Spring 2024
We are pleased to announce that the Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (MSOT) Bridge Program has been granted full accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE). ACOTE accreditation serves as a seal of approval for occupational therapy programs that satisfy educational requirements in the United States and its territories. The MSOT program received news of the accreditation status on April 8, announcing that, after a meticulous application and evaluation process, the program has been awarded full accreditation for a seven-year period—the longest possible accreditation period for new programs.
Some of our graduate programs—the Master of Science in Management (MSM), the Master of Business in Professional Leadership (MBPL), and the Master of Science in Information (MSIT)—now offer classes in a face-to-face format in addition to our online classes.
