The occupational therapy program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education of the American Occupational Therapy Association, located at 4720 Montgomery Lane, P.O. Box 31220, Bethesda, Md. 20824-1220. ACOTE’s phone number is 301-652-AOTA. The ACOTE on-site evaluation awarded the program full accreditation status in August 1999.

The next evaluation will be in 2008–2009. Graduates of the program are eligible to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational therapist administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy.

After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be a occupational therapist, registered. Most states require licensure in order to practice; however, state license eligibility is usually based on the results of the NBCOT certification examination.
