Students in a doctoral degree program at Slippery Rock University will soon have the chance to become nationally certified.
The Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education of the American Occupational Therapy Association recently awarded SRU’s doctoral degree program in occupational therapy full accreditation through 2028.
SRU’s three year program was launched in 2018 and has maintained candidacy status since then with 87 students enrolled.
28 students are in their final year of the program, having completed training through on-campus learning at a facility in Harrisville. They will now be able to take the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy exam.
