The mission of the art therapy major is to provide a basic overview of the profession of art therapy and a strong preparatory base for graduate study in that field. Within the liberal arts curriculum, art therapy majors will combine elements from the behavioral sciences and the visual arts in a study of theory, methods, and presentation of art materials to stimulate free expression of the creative process within a wide range of treatment settings.

This major offers the student the opportunity to combine elements from the visual arts and the behavioral sciences to provide a strong preparatory base for graduate study in the area of art therapy. Four art therapy courses prepare students for ART 390: Art Therapy Internship, in a clinical or educational setting. The Internship can be completed either over two semesters of 120 hours for 3 credits each or over one semester of 240 hours for 6 credits. This combination of courses provides theory, methods, and hands-on experience for the student interested In the art therapy profession.

1. demonstrate a comprehensive perspective on the history and theoretical approaches which contributed to the current art therapy paradigms;
2. discuss the professional and educational opportunities in the art therapy field;
3. exhibit an extensive knowledge of the creative process as applied to diverse populations;
