Occupational Therapy at HBCUs: What Are My Options?

Hello friends! I'm currently a junior and thinking about majoring in occupational therapy at an HBCU. Does anyone know which HBCUs offer strong programs for this? I'm trying to compile a list of colleges to research further. Any experience with the faculty or resources available in these programs would be greatly appreciated!

Hi there! It's fantastic that you're looking into occupational therapy programs at HBCUs. Howard University has a well-regarded occupational therapy program which boasts strong faculty and comprehensive coursework. Also consider looking into Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU)—they're known for having great resources, which can give you hands-on practice to compliment what you learn in class, and support services for their students.

Research each program's accreditation as well, as this is crucial for OT programs. You can usually find detailed information about faculty, curriculum, and resources directly on the college's program webpage. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to the admissions office, or even someone in the department directly.

Good luck on your journey to becoming an occupational therapist, and I hope you find the perfect fit for you at an HBCU!
