Prospective Students

A Master of Health Science in Occupational Therapy is six semesters, including 89 credit hours. During their two years, OT students will complete six short-term fieldwork rotations, and two 12-week, full-time fieldwork rotations, at sites throughout Georgia and the U.S. Upon completion, graduates are eligible to sit for the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) examination. All graduating Occupational Therapists must pass the NBCOT exam to become licensed to practice in the state of Georgia. We are happy to report that Augusta University exam results are among the best in the country.
