The MHPC OTA Program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA). Individuals will be a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) upon successful completion of coursework and passing of the national certification exam.
Occupational Therapy Assistant students must attain a cumulative grade point average of C (70%) in each course to graduate. If a course grade is below 70%, or clinical skills are not all successfully demonstrated, the OTA student may be placed on Academic Probation.
In addition, Missouri requires licensure to practice; however, acquisition of a state license is based on the results of the NBCOT Certification Examination.
