Online OTD Distance Program
Occupational therapy delivery models are changing, and the Western New England University Doctor of Occupational Therapy program prepares you to be a part of that future through the hybrid Distance Learning Cohort (DLC). As the practice of occupational therapy transitions, WNE is meeting the moment through a comprehensive and adaptable online curriculum.
Current WNE Students
Current WNE students have two pathways to enter the OTD program: either by enrolling in a 3+3 OTD program or applying to the doctorate program during their senior year.
