Overview
Grounded in the healing potential of making, viewing, and engaging with art, the College of Visual and Performing Arts’ (VPA) art therapy program at Syracuse University prepares students to employ art-based approaches to counseling when working with diverse populations in a range of clinical and community-based settings.
Features
Our 60-credit master of science (M.S.) in Art Therapy is a hybrid program that engages students in an integrated approach to learning that includes two on-campus residencies and participation in a dynamic online learning environment.
Experiential learning is employed throughout the curriculum to support students’ engagement with academic material while providing opportunities to use the “tools of the trade” to integrate theory with practice as students prepare for clinical art therapy practice.
Our small cohort size promotes a supportive and collaborative learning experience among students and faculty.
