ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY ASSISTANT (OTA.AAS)

The OTA program is offered through contractual arrangement between SWOSU and Caddo-Kiowa Technology Center (CKTC), Ft. Cobb, Oklahoma. SWOSU provides oversight of all faculty, curriculum, instruction, student services, and financial aid services. All students officially enroll through and are charged tuition and fees, awarded state and federal financial aid, and awarded degrees by SWOSU. The prerequisite general education and technical occupational support courses must be completed prior to admission with a grade of “C” or better. Skill and technical training for the OTA program is provided on behalf of SWOSU by CKTC. Admission to the OTA program is competitive and requires completion of the application packet prior to established deadlines. The application packet may be obtained on either the SWOSU or the CKTC websites and must be returned to the Allied Health Sciences office at SWOSU-Weatherford. Admission to the OTA program will be based on admission to SWOSU, university GPA, references, personal interview, and other evidence of potential success in the field of Occupational Therapy. Goals of this program: (1) to prepare students to function as OTA’s through academically preparing them to be successful on the National Board Exam; (2) to shape a receptive educational environment, in both academic and clinical settings, which integrates classroom knowledge and skill acquisition. The OTA program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE). Graduates of the program will be eligible to take the national certification examination given by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy. After successful completion of this exam, the OTA student will be a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) and may apply for state licensure through the State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision.
