The Holistic Immersive Learning Model: Your Path to Diverse Opportunities

Experience the best of both worlds with our structured hybrid model, where the first of two years are spent on campus. You’ll engage with essential OT knowledge, theory, and evidence-based research through interactive digital platforms that promote collaboration, critical thinking, and ethical decision-making. This hybrid approach ensures that you stay connected with faculty and peers while enhancing your understanding of OT concepts.

Engage in hands-on learning in a classroom environment where you’ll work closely with expert faculty and peers. This component emphasizes clinical reasoning, real-life application, and occupation-centered practice, preparing you to tackle complex challenges in a wide range of OT settings, including pediatrics, geriatrics, mental health, and community settings.

Make a real-world impact through immersive experiences that go beyond the classroom. In addition to fieldwork in diverse settings, students will also engage in on-campus fieldwork with community partners who will visit campus for labs, camps, and clinical practice sessions. Faculty will work alongside students, guiding them in these hands-on experiences with individuals from the community. This ensures that students receive real-time mentorship and feedback as they apply their skills in therapeutic interventions and engage in occupation-centered practice. Whether assisting in community wellness initiatives or participating in hands-on therapeutic sessions, you’ll tackle real-world challenges while working with diverse populations. These partnerships expose you to a variety of practice environments, preparing you for both traditional and emerging OT settings.

You won’t just be learning from OT professionals — you’ll be working alongside experts from fields such as education, mental health, nursing, speech-language pathology, community health, and others. This collaborative approach ensures that you gain multiple perspectives to address complex client needs, building your leadership and highlighting the importance of interprofessional collaboration in practice.
