Our take
Bryant & Stratton College-Wauwatosa Campus program assessment
Why it stands out
- The 87.0% multi-year NBCOT average gives a more dependable read than the latest result alone; the range bottoms out at 67%.
- The distance component creates real scheduling flexibility while preserving the in-person labs and clinical work required for an OT or OTA degree.
Tradeoffs that matter
- The five-year record fell as low as 67%. That variability matters more than a strong latest year because the result has not been equally dependable across cohorts.
- Its #119 overall ota programs placement does not separate it from the strongest national options on the measures used in that comparison.
- This degree leads to OTA practice, not the occupational therapist credential. It is a different role with a different scope of practice, not a shorter version of the same job.
What to compare next
- Compare this OTA pathway with nearby programs on fieldwork geography, graduation timing, and the local assistant roles available after certification.
- Use the 87.0% five-year NBCOT average and 67% low year when comparing outcomes; they say more about consistency than the latest 82% result alone.
- Compare the actual in-person calendar with other hybrid programs, especially lab blocks and fieldwork locations that the distance percentage does not remove.

Applicant read
How the program's structure changes the decision
Degree level, delivery format, and accreditation timing create different kinds of value even when two programs have similar outcomes.
Degree path
This is an OTA pathway, so compare commute, supervision model, fieldwork placement support, local OTA role availability, and bridge-plan optionality before enrolling.
Format fit
The distance component can reduce weekly classroom travel, but it does not remove lab, practical-exam, or fieldwork obligations. Its value depends on how much flexibility remains after those in-person blocks are counted.
Accreditation review context
ACOTE lists the next review window as 2032/2033. This is scheduling context, not a quality grade; confirm the program's current status and any review outcome directly with ACOTE.

Open profile
Bryant & Stratton College-Wauwatosa Campus is not an outcomes-first recommendation: its 87.0% NBCOT average and 67% low year leave more variability than stronger peers. It belongs on a shortlist only when its location, degree path, or format is a particularly good match. Its hybrid structure adds some flexibility without removing the need for regular in-person training.
