Springfield College Reviews of Master's in Occupational Therapy

"Springfield College's occupational therapy program is a great program where hands on experiences are prioritized for students. I really enjoyed all of the community based activities we were assigned. The program also has a strong focus on knowing how to research. This is NOT research to advance the reputation of our professors, but research to advance our knowledge in evidence based practices which will help us be better clinicians in our careers. I think Springfield College has definitely prepared me for practicing occupational therapy."

"PROS: friendly professors, diverse classes, prepares you for fieldwork, continues to help even after graduation CONS: need more classes on Pediatrics to prepare for BOARDS exam"

"Our program is very hands on. I have done a lot of fieldwork and site visits to help support what I learn in the classroom and boost my knowledge. I will be more prepared to enter the occupational therapy field."
