A Value-Driven Education

Our focus is on providing an education that delivers unparalleled return on investment, as demonstrated by our 97% Career Placement rate with 67% of our Alumni working in a rural setting! With RMC’s OTD program, you’re investing in:

    • Advanced Facilities and Resources: Hands-on training in labs equipped with the latest occupational therapy equipment.
    • Career Opportunities: Access to diverse fieldwork placements and networking connections in Billings’ healthcare hub.
    • Exceptional Faculty: Personalized mentorship from full-time educators dedicated to your success.
    • Long-Term Value: Graduates with a doctorate in occupational therapy have higher earning potential and greater career flexibility compared to those with a master’s degree.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, occupational therapists earn a median annual salary of $96,370 with 11% job growth forecasted over the next decade.

Supporting Your Investment

As an accredited program, RMC’s OTD program allows students to qualify for federal financial aid, including loans and working opportunities.

    • Graduate Assistantship: Merit-based assistantship opportunities are available.
    • Dedicated Support: Our financial aid advisors are ready to work with you to explore all available options and create a plan that works for you.
    • External Resources: Program partnerships with the Phi Theta Epsilon honor society and AOTA provide more scholarship opportunities for students.

How RMC Stands Out

Our focus on a holistic educational experience—designed to prepare you for a lifetime of leadership in occupational therapy—offers the best return on investment. Unlike other programs, RMC provides in-person learning, advanced facilities, dedicated mentorship, and an ideal location. Here’s why RMC’s program is worth the investment:

    • Full-time, dedicated faculty offering consistent guidance and expertise.
    • State-of-the-art labs and a curriculum built on practical application.
    • Close connections to Billings’ medical corridor with diverse fieldwork opportunities and exposure to serving our surrounding rural areas.

By choosing RMC, you’re not just paying for a degree—you’re preparing for a lifetime of professional success.
