Program Overview

Program Description:

Students who complete all prerequisites and our three-year program earn a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences and a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy. By the time you graduate, you’ll have also gained invaluable clinical experiences that will prepare you to pass your exams and start your career.

Why Touro?

Our faculty includes accomplished professional practitioners and researchers. We keep classes small to ensure you get the individual support you need from professors.

We offer classes at the Bay Shore, Long Island and Manhattan campuses so you can find a location that works best for you. Classes at our Bay Shore campus begin in August of each year, and in February at our Manhattan campus.

All students participate in three full-time clinical experiences, strategically placed throughout the program, and fulfill a community service requirement. By working with diverse patient populations, students develop a passion for service, and compassion for all.
