Graduates of the MHPC OTA Program are awarded an Associates of Applied Science Degree in Occupational Therapy Assistant from the community college at which they enroll and attend classes.
The MHPC OTA Program is full-time only, with courses offered in a specific sequence. The professional year of the program (OTA coursework) is designed to be completed within 12 months (three 16-week semesters) beginning in August and ending in August.

The OTA Program’s vision is to be recognized a leader in innovative strategies for occupational therapy assistant education. Through a combination of distance and on-site education opportunities and experiences, we envision a cadre of highly skilled and educated occupational therapy assistants who will serve the citizens of Missouri and neighboring states.
In addition, all OTA students will be required to travel to Columbia once each month during the fall and spring semesters to participate in “centralized lab” sessions that bring the students from all campuses together for group lab activities and testing. Students are encouraged to carpool with classmates from their home campus.
