Our take
Middle Georgia State University program assessment
Why it stands out
- 2 matched NBCOT years are available. The latest 75% result is promising context, but the history is still too short to establish consistency.
- The #23 public value placement is a useful institution-level affordability and debt signal, but it does not measure program-specific quality.
Tradeoffs that matter
- Only 2 matched NBCOT years are available, so the current result cannot show how performance holds across multiple graduating cohorts.
- A master's program is the more direct graduate route to OT licensure, but it offers less doctoral-level capstone depth for applicants who specifically want that experience.
What to compare next
- Compare this master's program with entry-level OTD options on time to degree, capstone expectations, and whether the doctoral credential changes your intended career path.
- Treat the 2 matched NBCOT years as preliminary evidence. Compare the 75% to 100% range, request cohort counts, and do not treat the 87.5% average as equivalent to a complete five-year record.
- Use the #23 public value placement only to identify institution-level cost and debt peers; then compare program-specific curriculum, clinical emphasis, tuition, and outcomes directly.

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 a master's pathway. Compare program length, total cost, fieldwork placement quality, and whether the degree format fits your work or family constraints.
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 2030/2031. This is scheduling context, not a quality grade; confirm the program's current status and any review outcome directly with ACOTE.
NBCOT performance
Certification exam performance history
The OT Index stores the public NBCOT school-performance rows by program type and year, then links rows to ACOTE profiles when the school name can be matched.
