Master of Science
The Occupational Therapy Programs’ mission is to educate and prepare a diverse group of occupational therapists to be leaders in promoting health, well-being, and adaptation through occupation as practitioners, consultants, educators, advocates, and scholars in a variety of socio-cultural, geographic, community, and institutional contexts. The programs aim to be supportive and responsive to the continuously changing needs of the NYC and wider community through integrating its scholarship and teaching with the vast resources of the metropolitan area.

Commencement Oath for Master of Science Graduates
Beginning with the Class of 2024, masters graduates recite an oath at graduation. This oath serves as a symbolic affirmation of their readiness to uphold the highest standards of integrity, excellence, and ethical responsibility. By engaging in this ceremonial practice, we believe our graduates will gain a deeper understanding of the impact and commitment inherent in their professional roles.
The inclusion of this oath not only honors the hard work and dedication of our graduates but also reinforces the values and principles that are essential to their future success. It is our hope that this tradition will endure, enriching the commencement experience and instilling a sense of pride and purpose in all who recite it.
