Master of Science in Arts Therapy

Art therapy uses visual and symbolic expression to circumvent the limitations of language, giving voice to experiences and providing opportunities to understand complex situations, illuminate new questions and create alternative and innovative solutions to problems. Grounded in the healing potential of making, viewing and engaging with art, the art therapy program prepares students to employ art-based approaches to counseling when working with diverse populations in a range of clinical and community-based settings. Our 60-credit master of science (M.S.) in art therapy is a hybrid program that engages students in an integrated approach to learning that includes two on-campus residencies and participation in a dynamic online learning environment.
