Students participate in a combination of online discussion assignments and meetings with an assigned faculty advisor. Students participate in an in-depth learning experience in one or more of the following areas: clinical practice skills, administration, leadership, advocacy, and education.

These courses will be managed through the university LMS, students will meet monthly with the Baccalaureate Project Faculty advisor either in person or via ZOOM or other web facilitated Technology.  Students can work in pairs or individually.

The Baccalaureate Project is founded on an individual or group project, which allows students to demonstrate application of knowledge gained throughout the OTA program.
