Our take
Mount Mary University program assessment
Why it stands out
- The 88.4% multi-year NBCOT average gives a more dependable read than the latest result alone; the range bottoms out at 78%.
- The campus-centered format can suit students who want regular access to labs, faculty, and a local cohort rather than primarily online instruction.
Tradeoffs that matter
- The five-year record fell as low as 78%. That variability matters more than a strong latest year because the result has not been equally dependable across cohorts.
- Its #147 overall ot programs placement does not separate it from the strongest national options on the measures used in that comparison.
- 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.
- Use the 88.4% five-year NBCOT average and 78% low year when comparing outcomes; they say more about consistency than the latest 78% result alone.
- Compare required campus days and fieldwork travel with genuinely hybrid programs; the limited distance component here will not solve a long commute.

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
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 2031/2032. This is scheduling context, not a quality grade; confirm the program's current status and any review outcome directly with ACOTE.

Open profile
Mount Mary University makes a credible outcomes case, with a 88.4% NBCOT average across 5 years. The 78% low year keeps it from being an automatic choice, so fit matters more than the latest 78% result. This is fundamentally a campus-based choice, not an online-friendly one.
