Looking to advance your career in the OT field? Our Master of Occupational Therapy program is the starting point you need to lay a solid foundation in occupational therapy that will lead to your license and future as an OT clinician. There are three ways he can earn an MOT at the St. Augustine University School of Health: Residential, Flex, or the new Hybrid Immersion Pathway. Each has its own nuances, so let’s take a closer look at the similarities and differences between the three to help you decide which best suits your individual set of parameters.
First, know that each path leads to the same destination: a master’s degree in occupational therapy. By doing so, you will be able to engage in clinical practice and help people in a variety of settings reach their full potential. Each pathway also has the same entry requirements, start date, number of credit hours, fieldwork experience, number of labs and classes.
The difference between the three routes is their flexibility. That is, where you live, how much time you spend on campus (and which campus), how long it takes to complete a course, and scheduling in-person components. program. We offer this level of flexibility because we understand that lifestyles and learning styles are not a single stream.
Well, the difference is…
Residential MOT
Potential students who live near or relocate to one of the four campuses below and are seeking a traditional college experience should consider the Residential Pass. we, Residential MOT in San Marcos, California.

In the Residential Option, students attend mixed classes and face-to-face labs on weekdays and progress through the program over six consecutive semesters (two years).

It’s a great option for students who live a short distance from campus and need to study at a more comfortable pace due to work, family, or other obligations. It is also the most manageable in terms of cost per period, as the total cost of completion is spread over time.
