Accreditation: Pre-OT School Research, Degree Mandate, Other Tips – OT Dude Occupational Therapy |
![]() |
***UPDATE***
I forgot to mention that you should not ignore non-accredited schools altogether – they're just at different stages during this process. You can also leave the search filter to all, and pay attention to the stage of accreditation. Many schools that *were* accredited before are most likely to be accredited for the transition to higher degree level or sometime down the line. The concern is for the schools that lost their accreditation before the transition historically and *why* or ones that were *never* accredited in the first place and fall under the degree mill category. It can be definitely be confusing for many people who aren't aware of this terminology so check out the ACOTE definitions beforehand. --- Why you should pay attention to accreditation when applying for OT schools, what the degree mandate is, a walk-through of how to find out which schools ARE accredited, terminology, financial considerations, and much more.
