Department of Occupational Therapy

The Occupational Therapy program at Western Michigan University prepares future occupational therapists to improve the lives of individuals of all ages through compassionate, evidence-based care.

Hands-on learning is at the heart of the program. Through faculty-led experiences, clinical fieldwork, and community partnerships, students gain the real-world skills and confidence needed to become exceptional practitioners. Philanthropic support helps provide innovative learning opportunities, modern equipment, and meaningful clinical experiences that prepare graduates to make an immediate impact in the communities they serve.
