Hi everyone!
I recently interviewed with IUW for their OTD program and have gotten unofficially accepted. They are currently waiting for Candidacy status, coming this May.
I just wanted to know if anyone else is planning on attending their inaugural class starting this Fall. Because of cost and location, I am leaning towards this program. They showed promise during the preview/interview day. Their director also have led other programs in the past few years to accreditation for both MSOT and OTD programs. Their staff was amazing and very excited to start the program as well. I kinda just fell in love with the school.
To add onto that, IUW has many medical and health science programs that are solidly established, including Physical Therapy and Athletic Training. Their students seem very happy with those programs. The PT director also spoke during the preview/interview day saying that he is very excited to finally have an OT program at IUW.
It seems like all signs are very positive and their program is very organized and established, considering they have been working on it since 2021. It’s just the fact that they are a very new program that their accreditation status is where it’s at. I know that most programs that achieved candidacy are more likely to get accredited.
Is anyone else on the same boat as me? I’m worried that not many people will be accepting into the program because of this concern!
Regardless, I have been accepted into a few schools and still waiting for final decisions from a couple schools though all of them are out of state, so I have a backup plan just in case!
Let me know your thoughts and comments about their accreditation status and what you have heard or thought about, if any, about the program!
