Welcome to the University of Louisiana at Monroe Master of Occupational Therapy Program

About the Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) to Master of Occupational Therapy  (MOT) Bridge Program

The program is a 2.5-year hybrid (combination distance/onsite) program. Applicants to the OTA to MOT bridge program must be certified as Occupational Therapy Assistants (OTAs), have obtained a bachelor’s degree, and meet the pre-requisites prior to application to the program. We do not require a specific bachelor’s degree as long as you take the pre-requisites listed on our Admission & Application Requirements page. We recommend that you choose a bachelor’s degree that is appealing to you and meets your needs.

All courses require both online and on-campus components. Students will begin participating in online course instruction on the first day of class each semester. See University Calendar for specific dates.

    EXAMPLE ON-CAMPUS SCHEDULE:

  Your courses will meet onsite at ULM as follows (NOTE: These are MANDATORY class
  meetings. Make-up dates are not possible):

   Year 1 Fall Semester, August 28-29, 2021 and November 1-5, 2021.

   Year 1 Spring Semester, your courses will meet onsite at ULM March 28- April 1, 2022.

   Year 1 Summer Semester, your courses will meet onsite at ULM June 20-24, 2022.

   Year 2 Fall Semester, your courses will meet onsite at ULM October 31- November 4, 2022.

   Year 2 Spring Semester, because you will be completing your Level I Fieldwork hours (including your Mental Health Level I FW that is completed in Monroe, LA), you will be coming onto campus for three WEEKENDS instead of one full week. Those TENTATIVE dates are: February 4-5, 2023; March 4-5, 2023; and April 1-2, 2023.

*NOTE: ALL on-campus sessions throughout the program are MANDATORY. Failure to meet the on-campus class schedule will result in inability to progress in the program.
