Helping People Get Back to the Lives They Want


New OT Futures Grant. Learn more.

A career in occupational therapy can be incredibly rewarding as you help others overcome barriers to active participation in daily life. As highly trained healthcare professionals, occupational therapists prioritize and adapt to individuals’ unique needs and goals to help them develop, recover, or maintain the skills needed for daily, independent living and working. Occupational therapists work with a wide variety of methodologies to help their clients with illnesses, injuries, and disabilities and may work in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, schools, and nursing homes.

The Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) program at Alliant is designed for people like you who already have a bachelor’s in another discipline and want to become an occupational therapist. It delivers a quality education through a variety of methods to help you achieve your professional goals. Faculty bring their real-world, professional experience to actively engage you in a truly integrated learning experience through online courses and weekly, on-campus classes and labs along with fieldwork placements every semester.

*The Occupational Therapy Futures Grant reduces tuition to $312 per unit, for an estimated total program tuition of $24,960 based on the standard 80-unit Master of Occupational Therapy curriculum. Actual costs may vary depending on transfer credits, course sequencing, or program changes. The grant applies only to tuition and does not cover published fees or other program-related expenses. The terms of the grant are subject to change.
