Thank you for your interest in the Doctor of Occupational Therapy Program at Old Dominion University. Our program, situated in the School of Rehabilitation Sciences and College of Health Sciences, is a three year full-time in person professional doctoral program located on our campus in Norfolk, Virginia.

Many Occupational Therapy Programs across the country require students to complete observation hours at a site where occupational therapy services are provided. Here at ODU, we acknowledge that obtaining necessary observation hours is difficult for many students and sites. We also recognize that students often leave their observations with many unanswered questions and have little opportunity to reflect on their learning and its impact on their educational plans. We require that ODU OT applicants complete the following Doctor of Occupational Therapy Program Observation Modules and accompanying activities instead of completing site observation hours.
