Typically, an occupational therapist earns a four-year undergraduate degree and then a two-year master's in occupational therapy before becoming licensed to practice.

But at Union, our unique bridge program allows students to earn an occupational therapy assistant associate degree in two years and then transitions directly into the Master of Occupational Therapy bridge program for another two years. That means graduating with a master's degree in a total of four years instead of six or more!
