Description
Occupational Therapy (OT) is a healthcare field that works to help individuals to maximize their function in the performance of their every-day activities. This career allows individuals to make a lasting difference in helping people to regain their independence and get back to enjoying life to the fullest. The Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA), under the supervision of an Occupational Therapist, provides rehabilitative services to individuals with physical, mental, emotional, and developmental disabilities.
The Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) Program at UA Cossatot combines classroom instruction with clinical (fieldwork) experiences. The program consists of two portions which include the general education core and the OTA program courses. Course structure in the curriculum of the OTA program is custom designed to maintain compliance with the standards as established by the American Occupational Therapy Association and ACOTE. The hallmark of the OTA program is the student's ongoing involvement in the experiential and service learning that occurs throughout the program. Students successfully completing the OTA program are awarded an Associate of Applied Science degree (AAS) in Occupational Therapy.
The OTA program is limited to 15-18 students each year. Applicants will be ranked according to required general education course GPA, pre-entrance exam scores, interview score, profession material review score, and letters of recommendation. UA Cossatot and the Occupational Therapy Assistant Program will not discriminate in the selection of students to the OTA program. Students not accepted into the upcoming class are encouraged to re-apply prior to the next application deadline.
