Occupational Therapy

Welcome to the Division of Occupational Therapy and to the profession of occupational therapy where we believe in living life to its fullest. Our profession is almost one hundred years old and is as vital today as it was at its inception. We are committed to helping people participate fully in life and dedicated to overcoming obstacles that may limit participation.

We offer the only entry-level, graduate program in the state of South Carolina for individuals wanting to acquire the knowledge, skills, and abilities to enter the occupational therapy profession. Our graduates successfully enter contemporary practice environments that span health care, education, and the community, and they go on to enjoy careers in clinical practice, administration, education, and research. They are motivated to sustaining continuing competence through a commitment to life-long learning and contributing to the growth and future direction of the profession as leaders and advocates for the profession and those we serve.

Join us for a rich and rewarding educational experience that integrates didactic, experiential, and interprofessional learning. Our students participate in a variety of opportunities that encourage respect and welcome for diverse groups of individuals, promote caring, compassionate, ethical, and proficient practice, foster critical thinking and professional reasoning and instill a love of lifelong learning in pursuit of excellence and promotion of innovation.
