Established in 1941, Eastern Michigan University's Occupational Therapy Program has a long-standing tradition of excellence, providing competent and caring professionals to the local community and throughout the State of Michigan and across the nation. The Combined Occupational Therapy (COT) track is often referred to as the 3 plus 2 program. The COT track is designed for undergraduate students who do not yet have a bachelor's degree. This track culminates with a Bachelor of Science degree and a Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) degree. If choosing this option you will fill out the Combined Occupational Therapy (COT) OTCAS application. Many of our occupational therapy students take advantage of engaging in the community and classroom through organizations such as the Student Occupational Therapy Association (SOTA), Pi Theta, and the Coalition of Occupational Therapy Advocates for Diversity (COTAD). Students develop clinical and critical thinking skills through part- and full-time fieldwork during five semesters in the program. They have opportunities for inter professional education with programs within and outside of the University.
