Our take
Kent State University at East Liverpool program assessment
Why it stands out
- The 71.2% multi-year NBCOT average gives a more dependable read than the latest result alone; the range bottoms out at 0%.
- Full ACOTE accreditation lets the decision turn on educational fit rather than uncertainty about the program's current accreditation category.
Tradeoffs that matter
- The five-year record fell as low as 0%. That variability matters more than a strong latest year because the result has not been equally dependable across cohorts.
- 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 71.2% five-year NBCOT average and 0% low year when comparing outcomes; they say more about consistency than the latest 100% result alone.

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
A campus-based format favors students who value regular access to faculty, labs, and a local cohort. The cost is less control over commute and weekly schedule than a genuinely hybrid program offers.
Accreditation review context
ACOTE lists the next review window as 2027/2028. This is scheduling context, not a quality grade; confirm the program's current status and any review outcome directly with ACOTE.

Open profile
Kent State University at East Liverpool is not an outcomes-first recommendation: its 71.2% NBCOT average and 0% 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. The published format is not specific enough to make flexibility part of the recommendation.
