Our take
University of Southern Indiana program assessment
Why it stands out
- The 94.4% multi-year NBCOT average gives a more dependable read than the latest result alone; the range bottoms out at 88%.
- 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.
- The five-year record fell as low as 88%. That variability matters more than a strong latest year because the result has not been equally dependable across 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.
- Use the 94.4% five-year NBCOT average and 88% low year when comparing outcomes; they say more about consistency than the latest 93% 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 2029/2030. This is scheduling context, not a quality grade; confirm the program's current status and any review outcome directly with ACOTE.
