Certification at the professional level requires appropriate work experience and a master's degree from an approved graduate program. An undergraduate degree in art therapy provides a strong foundation which is beneficial in further study. The Capital University Student Art Therapy Association attends meetings sponsored by the American Art Therapy Association, which is the field's professionally recognized certifying organization. Art therapists can also be found in drug abuse agencies, college counseling centers, halfway houses, employee assistance programs and in private practice. A growing area of professional involvement is in medical facilities as part of the alternative healing programs now offered.
