OT Program Plan

Overview of Course Sequence

The University of Minnesota’s Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) courses prepare students to understand, analyze, synthesize and apply content about occupational therapy within a variety of contexts including classroom, home, community, and authentic practice settings. Students learn foundational concepts about how occupations impact the health and wellbeing of persons, communities and populations by first analyzing their occupational selves.
