Part time- Evening Weekend program
Located at
our Atlanta, GA site, this option is ideal for working students or
individuals who have commitments during the week. Many people who are
Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants (COTA’s) will likely choose
this option so they may still work while in the program. This program
schedule is every other weekend on Friday evening and all day on
Saturday. Students will have a significant amount of online course work
in-between class meeting times.
