This profile keeps College Scorecard institution-level measures separate from ACOTE and NBCOT program-specific context so applicants can see what is known and what still needs verification.
Decision snapshot
Is University of Louisiana at Monroe a strong OT value option?
Use the value score as a cost screen, then verify program-specific price, outcomes, fieldwork, and state-market fit before applying.
Best for
- Applicants comparing a #34 public OT value option before building an application list.
- In-state applicants who want to pressure-test $9,190 tuition against debt, completion, and local labor-market context.
- Readers who want matched ACOTE program profiles plus Louisiana career-return context before treating price as value.
Watch closely
- College Scorecard cost, debt, and completion measures are institution-level signals, not OT-program-specific outcomes.
- Verify the full OT master's program cost after fees, equipment, travel, fieldwork, and living expenses.
- Louisiana labor-market context helps estimate career return, but it does not replace city, setting, employer, and NBCOT outcome comparisons.
Ask before deciding
- What is the full OT-specific cost after fees, equipment, travel, and fieldwork expenses?
- How much debt do OT students graduate with, not just the institution overall?
- How far do students typically travel for Level II fieldwork?
Applicant read
How to interpret the value signal
The value score is strongest when low cost, manageable debt, completion strength, accreditation runway, and local labor-market opportunity point in the same direction.
Tuition signal
The published in-state tuition signal is unusually strong for an OT pathway, which is why this institution ranks highly in the value model.
Debt signal
The median debt signal is moderate. Applicants should ask whether OT students borrow above or below the institution-level figure.
Completion signal
The completion signal is a watch item. Ask the program for OT-specific retention and graduation data before applying.
State opportunity
Louisiana is a weaker labor-market signal in this value model, so the value case depends more heavily on low cost, fit, and the applicant's target setting.
