OTA programs in Indiana
2 OTA (occupational therapy assistant) programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free
2 schools offer these occupational therapy assistant programs, and Indiana has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did.
Occupational therapy assistants help occupational therapists treat clients, guiding them through exercises and teaching new ways to manage everyday tasks such as dressing and bathing. Most need an associate degree from an accredited OTA program and usually a state license, which takes the program, fieldwork and a passed exam; passing it also earns the title Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA).1
In Indiana, 1 of the 2 programs takes students without a high school diploma and 1 asks for a diploma or equivalent.
Both are the same kind of program: OTA (associate degree).

Where the Indiana occupational therapy assistant program numbers come from
Which Indiana occupational therapy assistant programs are on this list?
These are the occupational therapy assistant programs Indiana approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Indiana offers.
How the prices and results of Indiana occupational therapy assistant programs are measured
Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
