Overview

Specifically, the Music – Music Therapy Specialization program from Colorado State University is designed to prepare music therapists for advanced clinical work in music therapy, as music therapy supe#rvisors, administrators, and for teaching positions at the college or university level.

Quick Facts:

Two master’s curriculum tracks are offered: the first is a thesis program of 30 credit hours (Plan A) designed to provide students with the opportunity to complete a substantial research project.
The second track is a 32-hour program (Plan B) that requires, in lieu of a thesis, additional course work in music therapy, a final project, and a common final exam. Either program prepares the student to pursue doctoral study. The academic curricula meet the standards of the American Music Therapy Association and the National Association of Schools of Music.
