Master of Science in Dance/Movement Therapy

DanceMovement Therapy is where psychology and creativity meet to help us help others. Through experiential, embodied learning and immersive clinical training, you’ll discover the curative nature of the creative process and the healing potential of dance. Creative, aesthetic, and psychotherapeutic theory come together in everything we do. Movement is done in every course and is used to learn a range of therapeutic skills. Experiential processes translate the theoretical framework into personal and practical application. You’ll focus on a variety of populations over the course of two years of clinical training. The MS in DanceMovement Therapy is a 60-credit program for students who want a diverse skill set, balanced with a strong theoretical framework. Interdisciplinary, socially engaged, and justice-driven, our Creative Arts Therapy community is connected by a shared mission for transformative change. Pratt’s DanceMovement Therapy program can be completed in 4 semesters of full-time study. All courses are offered on the Pratt Brooklyn campus.
