Application materials, instructions, and full details about admission requirements for the MScOT program can be obtained online from the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC-ORPAS)
Is the MScOT offered on a part-time basis or through distance (online) education?
Due to the integrative nature of coursework and fieldwork placements, this program is offered on a full-time, full course load basis only. This may mean taking up to 7 mandatory courses per term, plus professional development activities. Classes are only offered in-person, on-site in Toronto and Mississauga (i.e. University of Toronto’s St. George campus in downtown Toronto, and the University of Toronto Mississauga campus in the City of Mississauga). Applicants should be prepared to dedicate their full attention to the program should they be accepted. Starting January 2022, we expect to return to in-person on-campus learning for the MScOT, subject to change based on public health directives.
Is Occupational Health the same as Occupational Science & Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Health is separate and distinct from Occupational Science & Occupational Therapy. For information about the University of Toronto’s programs in Occupational and Environmental Health, please visit the Dalla Lana School of Public Health website or contact by email at admissions.dlsph@utoronto.ca.
