Please note that the MS program is 4 years undergraduate and 1 year graduate, and the OTD program is 4 year undergraduate and 2 years graduate. Fieldwork credits are during summer/intersession and are not included in a semester's tuition. Occupational therapy students will have additional costs for fieldwork including background checks, CPR certification, PPD tests and others. These requirements and costs vary greatly by state and site requirements, but generally range from $850 to $1200 over the course of 5 fieldwork placements.
Our graduates are well prepared for any entry-level clinical position. In addition to the generalist areas of pediatrics, mental health practice, and physical rehabilitation, our students are immersed in specialty areas of hand, low-vision, cognitive rehabilitation, geriatrics and community-based practice. Clinical fieldwork is embedded within the curriculum enabling students to integrate classroom learning with real world experiences. We have contracts with numerous facilities through the northeast and across the country to allow the best placements for each student's needs. Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) Students enrolled in the Occupational Therapy Program have the option of applying for entry into the OTD program at the end of their junior year. This program is 6 ½-years (6 academic years and two summers). In addition to a robust clinical education, the OTD program prepares students for leadership positions including program development, research and teaching. Both the MS and the OTD are entry-level clinical degrees and graduates are eligible to take the National Board for Certification of Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) Examination and for licensing in every state.
What We Do: Occupational therapy is a client-centered profession that promotes health and well-being of clients through personally meaningful occupations. Students learn the physical, psychological and cognitive foundations of human performance, and gain the skills to help people who have limitations caused by illness, injury, developmental delays or normal aging. Our Mission: The Department of Occupational Therapy at The University of Scranton aspires to develop leaders of occupational therapy to meet societal needs. Aligned with the Catholic and Jesuit traditions of The University of Scranton, future occupational therapists are educated in the liberal arts and practice their profession guided by intellectual, moral, and ethical values embedded in a framework of social justice. Life-long learning and the ongoing pursuit of knowledge and wisdom are fostered through reflection and contemplation in action. How We Stand Out: Excellent professional program within a Jesuit liberal-arts university State-of-the-art facilities with well-equipped practice labs Extensive research labs Clinical experience embedded in the academic program Strong community partnerships Diverse and dedicated faculty Programs: Master of Science Degree in Occupational Therapy The 5 ½-year MS degree program accepts students at the freshman level which allows students time for academic preparation, professional socialization, and development of a strong professional identity.
Orthopedic: Which of the following standardized tests would be the LEAST helpful when performing an evaluation of an individual who has undergone a recent carpal tunnel release? Using a goniometer to measure AROM Using the Semmes Winestein monofilaments to measure sensation Having the patient perform Phalen's test to check for positive symptoms Using a dynamometer to measure grip strength E. Having the patient dip his/her hand in a volumeter to analyze amount of edema 21. Orthopedic: A patient presents to your outpatient facility several weeks after a recent 2 nd digit compression fracture. Surgery was completed and several pins were placed in the finger to provide stability. The digit is noticeably swollen and lacks both passive and active range of motion. Upon evaluation you find that his grip and pinch strength are much lower than those in his none affected hand and that he is unable to make a full fist. What would be your first priority with this patient? Providing resistive strengthening exercises to increase grip strength Providing manual therapy to stretch the shortened muscle fibers and increase ROM Providing ultrasound to the affected digit to decrease pain Providing the patient with a compression garment and strategies to reduce edema at home 22.
Topics of research study are as diverse as our faculty, from pediatric assessment to geriatric low-vision.

Career Outcomes: Our graduates are employed in hospitals, clinics, schools, camps, rehabilitation and long-term care facilities, home health, community agencies, and private practice. Employment for occupational therapists is strong and is expanding into new areas of practice.
