On the average, how much does it cost to get a masters in OT? Is it well worth the investment?

Funny you should ask this question...I always believe that the higher the education, the stronger market for opportunities. Do you currently have a BSN?

Even though the cost of medical school can be much higher than your average graduate program, investing in a higher education for occupations like OT/PT pays off even more quickly.

I've been reading how much it cost to get a masters in OT and the numbers varies. Some say it can go as low as $5,000 while others cost as high as $30,000++. It depends on which program you apply to get your masters. Some suggests that you take the lowest/cheapest program available as long as it is accredited and recognized by NBCOT.
