The Practicum Coordinator assists students in finding placements. Students complete two practicums, one each year. Full-time students attend two days of practicum weekly. Approximately half of the courses will be taken by art and dance therapists together. The second half of the coursework will be specific to dance or art therapy.
Graduates receive discrete degrees, in either art or dance therapy.
Both Art Therapy formats are approved by the American Art Therapy Association. The dance therapy program is in candidacy status with the American Dance Therapy Association. For those considering a career in art or dance therapy or who want a basic introduction, we offer the Spring Institute, which is a week-long set of courses in various facets of Creative Arts Therapy. At the end of this week is our annual conference, EXPO, which is open to professionals and lay people.
