USC is once again home to the nation’s No. 1 occupational therapy educational program, according to U.S. News & World Report. The ranking affirms the division’s innovation and excellence across its educational, research and clinical practice mission areas.

“Across the landscape of occupational therapy higher education, no other place has the scope and scale we have here at USC Chan,” said Associate Dean and Chair Grace Baranek. “It’s gratifying to have the incredible talent and steadfast dedication of our faculty, staff and students recognized by U.S. News.”

U.S. News ranks accredited occupational therapy programs using peer assessments solicited from academic leaders across the country, a reflection of the high regard in which USC Chan is held among the OT educational community. Since U.S. News began ranking OT programs in 1998, USC Chan has held the top spot for 19 years, longer than any other program in the country. Also atop this year’s rankings are Boston University, Colorado State University and the University of Pittsburgh.

Celebrating the USC Chan Class of 2026! 🎓✨

Last month, the USC Chan Division of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy gathered to honor its graduates at the 84th Commencement Ceremony on the USC University Park Campus.

We were honored to welcome commencement speaker Arameh Anvarizadeh, OTD, OTR/L, FAOTA, Professor of Clinical Occupational Therapy, President of the American Occupational Therapy Association, and founding member of the Coalition of Occupational Therapy Advocates for Diversity. Her message of leadership, advocacy, and equity inspired graduates as they prepare to shape the future of occupational therapy.
