OTA to MOT Hybrid Bridge Track

Radford University’s OTA to MOT Hybrid Bridge Track of the MOT Program is a hybrid program and intentionally designed for the Occupational Therapy Assistant who:

• Has completed all OTA coursework 
• Has passed the NBCOT exam for OTAs 
• Holds state licensure
•  Has a minimum of one year of experience working as an OTA. 

The majority of coursework is completed online asynchronously. Students attend 3-4 weekends at the Radford University Carilion location in Roanoke each semester for additional learning. One cohort is admitted to the OTA to MOT Hybrid Bridge Track each year, with a fall semester start date.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until ALL seats are filled, with a final deadline of April 1 each year.

Admission Requirements:

• A minimum of one year work experience, documented by an employer, as an occupational therapy assistant, with current OTA licensure, in good standing;
• A bachelor’s degree completed by the August start date of the fall semester classes;
• A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 in all undergraduate and/or graduate coursework;
• Completion of all prerequisite courses by May of the year you plan to begin the program (please see the list below).

Prerequisite Requirements:

Prerequisite requirements for admission to Radford University's Master of Occupational Therapy Program encompass a strong foundation of undergraduate course work in the liberal arts and sciences (e.g. anthropology or sociology, anatomy, psychology).

We have no restrictions on the timeframe for when you took your prerequisite courses – there is no expiration date on the courses you've taken.

• A professional resume that documents your past and current educational and work/volunteer experiences with diverse populations and programs with individuals encountered in occupational therapy practice (e.g. children and/or adults with mental health concerns, physical disabilities, or other types of special populations); your resume can extend to 2-3 pages;
• A typed Statement of Purpose: This is your opportunity to tell us why you want to earn the Master of Occupational Therapy degree at Radford University. In a two-page (double-spaced) essay, discuss the development of your interest in occupational therapy, how your education, fieldwork, and professional experiences as an occupational therapy assistant have informed your understanding of occupational therapy as a profession and the people occupational therapists work with, and your aspirations and goals for a continuing career as a health-care professional with the Master of Occupational Therapy degree;

The letters should describe your academic skills, general work behaviors, and the personal qualities one needs to be a competent health-care professional;
• A letter from an employer attesting to your credentialing in good standing as an occupational therapy assistant, with a minimum of one year of work experience.
