Enhance the lives of others with the healing qualities of art making with an MA in Creative Arts Therapy Counseling. As an art therapist, you’ll be able to combine counseling strategies with creative expression to help individuals struggling with mental illness grow and thrive. This 60-credit degree program features small, intimate class sizes with a focus on experiential learning and strong faculty-student relationships.

Your courses and the program’s integrated field experience will prepare you for licensure (LCAT) in New York State and to sit for the Art Therapy Credentials Board Examination (ATCBE). You’ll receive a well-rounded and interprofessional education with new and refined courses in the areas of ethics, diversity, aging and development, and career counseling.
