For the three most recent calendar years (2007, 20008, and 2009), the performance of the graduates of the occupational therapy assistant program on the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) certification examination was as follows:
| Total number or program graduates |

Total number of first-time test-takers of the
NBCOT certification exam: |
59 |
Total number first-time test-takers who
passed the NBCOT certification exam: |

| First-time test-taker percentage pass rate |

At this time changes are being made in the program curriculum to increase the first time pass rate on the national exam. For information on these changes please contact the program director, Kay Blose, at kblose@mountainstate.edu
As a follow-up the pass rate increases significantly as graduates take the exam a second time.
