The occupational therapy assistant (OTA) program prepares students to serve people of all ages who experience illness,
disease, disability, and challenging life circumstances to adapt by participating in
meaningful occupations. The curriculum prepares the OTA to practice as a dynamic
and interprofessional team member working under the supervision of an occupational
therapist, within health care, educational, and other community settings.
The OTA program is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in undergraduate education
in collaboration with other New Jersey colleges, industry partners, and fieldwork
educators. The program faculty contributes to scholarship that supports health care
education and occupational therapy practice. The program faculty and students
participate in service to underserved persons as part of the educational program.
