Affordability is a major factor when choosing your OT program. Our tuition for our entire OTD degree averages 30% less than the cost of our competitors in the region, in some cases over 50% less. Mizzou OT has also eliminated out-of-state tuition fees for non-Missouri residents. All students now pay the same in-state tuition rate.
