CORONAVIRUS Update: USAHS plans a full return to campus for 2021 Fall Term courses and lab sessions. USAHS expects to resume all in-person classes and on-campus academic activities, such as regularly scheduled residencies, weekend labs and course intensives, with the September 7 Fall Term start.
USAHS focuses on providing the best and more appropriate academic and financial aid counseling throughout the admissions process. Whether applying to a first-professional, campus based program or a post-professional distance program, an assigned Enrollment Advisor is available to assist you from application to acceptance.
The Post-Professional Doctor of Occupational Therapy (PPOTD) program is flexible and is designed to meet your individual needs. Students with a Bachelor’s degree can complete the program in 3-4 years and students with Masters degrees can complete in as little as 1-2 years, if enrolled full-time*. The program tuition and fees are as follows.
Bachelor's Level Student
Tuition is approximately $669 per credit hour for all courses. Clinical integration courses are $400 in total. For the bachelor’s degree student it is a 60 credit hour program that can be completed in four years.

Master's Level Student
Tuition is $669 per credit hour for all courses not involving a separate seminar. Students who already have a master’s degree will need to complete 35 credit hours. USAHS MOT graduates can apply six credits from the MOT program toward the PPOTD, reducing the time-to-completion.
USAHS graduates qualify for the Combined MOT/PPOTD track, which shortens time-to-degree and over-all tuition*

Financial Aid
Student loans may be available to assist with funding your PPOTD program. USAHS has financial aid counselors who are available to explain your options.
Financial aid counselors can be reached by email, phone, or on campus. Regular office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday in each time zone. If you are unable to meet during regular office hours, after-hours appointments are available by request.
*Please note that the program typically takes 3 years to complete, based off the most recent 2-year graduate data (2017-2018 and 2018-2019); however, individual experiences will vary based on factors including, but not limited to: individual progression, part‐time vs. full‐time enrollment, credits transferred, changing specializations, unsuccessful course completion, leaves of absence or other personal circumstances.
