Students learn various theories and are then encouraged to develop their own theoretical approach to the practice of art therapy.
Coursework, internship, and weekly individual and group art therapy supervision develop the students' knowledge and clinical skills.
The program provides extensive guidance in research, from the formulation of the idea to the culmination of the master's thesis.

Personal art making is required across the curriculum in a variety of assignments, including visual journaling.
