Our Mission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our mission in the 51ÁÔÆæ entry-level MSOT degree program is to cultivate evidence-based occupational therapy practitioners who grow as innovators, scholars, and lifelong learners to promote health and occupational freedom. We strive to remove barriers to learning by embracing best practices in education which include fostering relationships, building community, engaging through caring and connection, and providing hands-on learning experiences. Together, we seek to awaken the inner spirit, curiosity, and love of learning that resides within all people, recognizing it as central to human flourishing, health promotion, and the heart of occupational therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
