No accredited entry-level OT program is fully online. Every program requires in-person labs and full-time fieldwork. But 81 OT programs and 27 OTA programs say on their own websites that they teach in a hybrid, online, weekend or evening format, so you can study more of it remotely or keep working.
We list a program here only if its own website states the format (quote on each program page). ACOTE also reports how much of each program is taught by distance: 18 programs report 75–100%. Formats change, so confirm the on-campus schedule before you apply.
