Graduation Outcomes
Baylor OTD students are equipped to succeed.
Baylor Entry-level OTD students are equipped to succeed as competent, compassionate occupational therapy practitioners. The Baylor curriculum is thoughtfully designed to not only teach the necessary techniques and tools of an occupational therapist, but also to impart critical thinking skills, ethical values, social responsibility, and a spirit of lifelong learning.
As a 2-year accelerated doctoral program, we offer a faster path to the profession—whereas most traditional OTD programs take three years, our graduates complete their degree and enter the workforce in just 24 months. Through our hybrid delivery model, we reduce the financial burden of relocation and long-term living expenses by combining the flexibility of online coursework with periodic, immersive on-campus labs. This approach gives students across the country the ability to experience a world-class Baylor education while in their own communities.
Our graduates don’t just finish faster—they advance sooner, serve sooner, and make an impact sooner.
