Estimated tuition and program costs

Tuition and fees for the two-year BGSU Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD) program is $90,000. This all-inclusive price, invoiced by term, includes tuition and fees, books and supplies, instructional materials, NBCOT board exam preparation resources, and student membership in the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA). Unlike many OTD programs that charge additional fees for textbooks, learning materials, lab supplies, board preparation resources, and professional memberships, the BGSU OTD program bundles these expenses into a single transparent cost, helping students avoid unexpected expenses.

There are no additional University, technology, instructional, or lab fees. Books and learning resources are provided through BGSU University Libraries databases and are accessible through the Canvas Instructure learning management system.
