Occupational Therapy, O.T.D.

Moravian University’s Post-Professional Occupational Therapy Doctorate (PPOTD) offers licensed occupational therapists advanced knowledge and skills for meeting the evolving global societal needs through innovative, interprofessional, and inclusive leadership, education, and health care practices. PPOTD students can earn their doctorate degree fully online, full-time in just 12 months, by completing a minimum of 30 credits with each semester being 8 weeks. Students will have the option of extending their program plan from 30 to 32 credits by including two additional Doctoral Project courses (1 credit each). All PP-OTD students will have the option of setting their own unique and personalized plan for selecting course electives and tracks toward obtaining their PPOTD degree.

Moravian graduates and alumni who have obtained their Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (MSOT) degree and their initial occupational therapy certification and licensure may qualify for a shorter program format consisting of 24 credits.
