In 2016 the Accreditation Council of Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) awarded us a 10-year accreditation based on the strength of our academic program. This is the longest accreditation period awarded and we are incredibly proud of this accomplishment.

San Jose State University is very excited to announce that in addition to our current MSOT program, the new Entry-Level Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) program has begun as of Spring 2023! Applications are accepted via the Occupational Therapy Department beginning July 1. Applicants must also complete the OTCAS application process that opens on July 21. Our OTD program is designed to develop occupational therapy leaders, advocates, and innovators with a clear focus on community engagement and social justice for underserved populations. Informational Sessions will be held for interested students.
