About the School

Radford University Carilion (RUC), located in Roanoke, Virginia, is part of Radford University's Waldron College of Health and Human Services. RUC offers a range of health-related programs, including the Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) degree. The MOT program at RUC was fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) in April 2019. Graduates are eligible to sit for the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) exam upon completion of the program.

Curriculum

The MOT program at RUC offers two tracks: a Traditional Track for individuals entering the profession and an OTA to MOT Bridge Track for licensed occupational therapy assistants seeking to advance their education. Both tracks are designed to be completed in seven semesters. The Traditional Track is offered in a face-to-face format, while the Bridge Track utilizes a hybrid model combining asynchronous coursework with periodic on-campus sessions.

Facilities

Radford University Carilion’s occupational therapy programs are housed within Carilion Roanoke Community Hospital in Roanoke, Virginia, offering students direct access to state‑of‑the‑art clinical and academic facilities. The MOT traditional and OTA‑to‑MOT bridge tracks share modern classrooms and simulation labs located at the Roanoke Higher Education Center alongside Waldron College health programs. These spaces are complemented by access to Carilion Clinic’s expansive rehabilitation services network, including outpatient therapy gyms, anatomy and skills labs within the hospital, and shared use of Carilion’s onsite fitness and therapy equipment. MOT students benefit from integrated hands‑on training with Carilion clinicians and access to health sciences libraries and dining services housed directly in the hospital complex. The post‑professional OTD program is delivered online and does not require campus residency but leverages the same faculty and institutional support system across Radford University.
