Russell Sage College’s Occupational Therapy program is registered with the NYS Education Department and accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association, 6116 Executive Boulevard, Suite 200, North Bethesda, MD 20852-4929. You may contact ACOTE by phone at 301-652-6611 or by visiting www.acoteonline.org.
The most recent reaccreditation was granted in December 2016. Upon graduation, students are eligible to sit for the national certification exam that is administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). In addition, most states require licensure in order to practice occupational therapy; however state licenses are usually based on the results of the national certification exam. A felony conviction may affect a graduate’s ability to sit for the certification exam or to attain state licensure.
The Program’s overall pass rate for the 2017, 2018 and 2019 time period was 100% (first-time test-takers and test-retakers). Program results from the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) can be found online at nbcot.org/en/Educators/Home#SchoolPerformance

For the 3 most recent graduating cohorts (entry into OT program 2017-2019) 96% of students progressed to graduation (114 of 119).
