List of the Online Schools With a Master's Program in Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy helps individuals with an illness, injury or disability to function in day-to-day activities. In 2007, federal standards changed to require a master's degree for entry-level occupational therapists. Universities throughout the United States added post-professional online master's degree programs to allow practicing occupational therapists with bachelor's degrees to earn their master's degree.
