Occupational Therapy

Helping People Participate in the Things They Want and Need to Do

Tennessee State University's OT program started in 1991. The program's educational goal is to train and prepare students to enter the clinical practice of Occupational Therapy. Successful completion of the program earns the student an MOT degree in Occupational Therapy and eligibility to sit for the National Board Certification Examination.
