ACOTE lists 231 entry-level OTD programs in 47 states and territories: 158 accredited and 73 new programs working toward accreditation (as of October 9, 2026). Programs that publish their length run 2 years to 42 months.
An entry-level OTD is one of two ways to qualify as an occupational therapist; the other is an entry-level master’s. Both require ACOTE accreditation, at least 24 weeks of full-time Level II fieldwork, and passing the NBCOT exam. The OTD adds a 14-week individual doctoral capstone experience. Not sure which to choose? Read master’s vs. doctorate.
