The Associate of Occupational Science in Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) program
at Stanbridge University prepares students for rewarding careers in healthcare by assisting
occupational therapists. Students learn how to work with clients of all ages, from children
with developmental disorders like autism and fragile X syndrome to adults and seniors
looking to regain functional independence after life events such as surgeries, traumatic
brain injuries, strokes, and the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. They help individuals develop,
recover, and maintain essential skills for daily life through therapeutic treatments and
activities such as gardening, playing musical instruments, or surfing. Individuals with
bachelor's degrees in fields like psychology, behavioral sciences, childhood development,
or kinesiology often find the OTA program to be a natural next step.

The Associate of Science in Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at Stanbridge
University prepares students to effectively assist people in regaining confidence and
mobility after physical limitations, whether helping stroke victims walk again or getting
injured athletes back on the field. This program offers hands-on training, enabling students
to support physical therapists and transform patients' lives by restoring ability and
improving quality of life. Graduates can find employment in physical therapists’ offices,
nursing care facilities, rehabilitation centers, outpatient clinics, community health
organizations, home care services, hospitals, and schools. Individuals with bachelor's
degrees in fields like kinesiology, sports medicine, or exercise science often find the PTA
program to be a natural next step.
