Education for Occupational Therapy in Oregon

Looking for a school in Oregon that offers a Masters Degree in OT should prove simple, as there are several choices for suitable programs of study that are accredited for the Occupational Therapist Master degrees. The Oregon occupational therapy courses you pursue must be recognized by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) in order to qualify for your state license. If you favor other possibilities, you may consider distance learning for a portion of your curriculum.

Acquiring credits in high school is actually a good place to begin. The groundwork will establish a solid foundation for your years ahead. The Occupational Therapy Masters degree is a rigorous program involving many scientific topics. The earlier you start preparation, the more relaxed you will feel during the ensuing years as you pursue licensing.
