FACILITIES
The Doctor of Occupational Therapy facilities are located in the Burnside-Dalton and Hayes buildings on the Wingate, NC campus.  The Burnside-Dalton building is shared with the Doctor of Physical Therapy program. The OTD program primarily encompasses the first floors of each building, and includes several labs, a classroom, private study rooms, and faculty offices. Our facilities also boast a state of the art cadaver lab and a student lounge for decompressing between or after classes. We have carefully designed every detail so that we can provide our students with the optimal environment conducive to hands-on learning experiences.
"When I came to Wingate for the first time, for my interview, I was amazed. It was small and intimate and felt like home. They were friendly and inviting and made me feel hopeful. Also, I was excited to know that it was a doctoral program instead of a master’s. Studying at Wingate has been a blessing. I have enjoyed myself."
