Our take
University of Louisiana at Monroe program assessment
Why it stands out
- The strongest evidence is consistency: a 96.6% 5-year NBCOT average with a 93% floor is much more persuasive than one perfect year.
- Its #24 placement keeps it within the stronger portion of the national comparison, even though it does not reach the top tier.
Tradeoffs that matter
- 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 96.6% five-year NBCOT average and 93% low year when comparing outcomes; they say more about consistency than the latest 100% result alone.
- Use the #24 overall ota programs placement to choose peers with the same degree, then compare their curriculum and clinical emphasis.

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 2032/2033. This is scheduling context, not a quality grade; confirm the program's current status and any review outcome directly with ACOTE.

A serious shortlist should compare this profile against nearby programs with the same broad degree path, then weigh cost, commute, fieldwork, and outcomes.
University of Louisiana at Monroe is an outcome-led shortlist choice: its 96.6% NBCOT average across 5 years, with no year below 93%, shows unusual consistency. Its #24 placement in overall OTA programs confirms that the strength is comparative, not just a good-looking percentage. The published format is not specific enough to make flexibility part of the recommendation.
