The applied doctoral degree in Occupational Science prepares graduates to teach, influence policy and engage in applied research. Occupational science is the scientific study of human occupation related to the purposeful and meaningful activities that comprise everyday life experiences. The study of occupation involves the investigation of the relationship among the occupations, health and life participation of individuals of all ages within the context of their families, communities and society. The main emphasis of this interdisciplinary doctoral program is to advance education, research and service that promote occupational engagement, participation and well-being of persons, organizations and populations by applying knowledge gained through the study of occupational science. Within the curriculum students address the science of human occupation and occupation in practice.
