Our take
St. Catherine University program assessment
Why it stands out
- The strongest evidence is consistency: a 97.4% 5-year NBCOT average with a 96% floor is much more persuasive than one perfect year.
Tradeoffs that matter
- ACOTE lists the program as "Candidacy," not standard "Accreditation." Confirm exactly what that status means for admission, graduation, and NBCOT eligibility before enrolling.
- 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 97.4% five-year NBCOT average and 96% low year when comparing outcomes; they say more about consistency than the latest 100% result alone.

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.
