Our take
Rockhurst University program assessment
Why it stands out
- 3 matched NBCOT years are available. The latest 100% result is promising context, but the history is still too short to establish consistency.
- 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
- ACOTE lists the program as "Accreditation-Inactive," not standard "Accreditation." Confirm exactly what that status means for admission, graduation, and NBCOT eligibility before enrolling.
- Only 3 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 3 matched NBCOT years as preliminary evidence. Compare the 96% to 100% range, request cohort counts, and do not treat the 98.7% average as equivalent to a complete five-year record.
- Compare required campus days and fieldwork travel with genuinely hybrid programs; the limited distance component here will not solve a long commute.

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 2027/2028. This is scheduling context, not a quality grade; confirm the program's current status and any review outcome directly with ACOTE.
