Challenging and rewarding fieldwork experiences in the occupational therapy program at UNH will prepare you for work in an array of settings – and our program maintains fieldwork agreements with more than 600 sites nationwide. All of our students intern in community programs in the New Hampshire Seacoast region, actively applying their knowledge and skills as part of academic coursework. The Student Occupational Therapy Association on campus also provides educational, service and social opportunities for members. Graduates of the OT master’s degree program are eligible to take the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy certification exam to become registered occupational therapists.

Students begin the BS/MS curriculum with preprofessional courses, which include courses in biological and social sciences as well as occupational therapy. In addition to meeting the University Discovery Program requirements, students take the following courses during the first three years of the program.
