About the School
American International College (AIC), located in Springfield, Massachusetts, is a private liberal arts institution founded in 1885. The college offers a range of undergraduate and graduate programs, including those in the School of Health Sciences. AIC is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education and participates in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA), facilitating the interstate offering of postsecondary distance education programs.
Curriculum
The Master of Science in Occupational Therapy (MSOT) program at AIC is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA). The program prepares students to apply and pass the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) Certification Examination, enabling them to practice as professional occupational therapists. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on therapeutic learning activities and offers international service learning and fieldwork opportunities in countries such as Belize, Morocco, and Thailand.
Facilities
American International College’s Post‑Professional OTD is delivered entirely online through the School of Health Sciences, so it doesn’t rely on traditional on-campus labs or dedicated simulation spaces. Instead, the program is structured around a flexible distance-learning format that accommodates working occupational therapists across all 50 states. Even though there’s no centralized physical campus infrastructure specifically for the OTD, AIC supports interprofessional engagement through virtual platforms and incorporates occasional low‑residency components. Prospective students are invited to participate in on-campus Occupational Therapy Shadow Days on Fridays at Courniotes Hall, where they can observe applied kinesiology labs, meet faculty and current students, tour the facilities, and experience first‑hand the college’s physical resources and learning environment.
