Overview

In San Francisco we offer a hybrid format, which blends online and on-campus learning. Courses are offered online (asynchronously), online/remote (synchronously), and in-seat approximately four times per semester (pending AMTA approval.)

In Stockton, we offer the hybrid format (see above) or a fully in-seat format.

Two-year path for board-certified music therapists or candidates eligible to sit for the board examination.
Three-year path plus the 6-month internship for students with an undergraduate degree in music or fields related to music therapy (e.g., psychology, special ed, etc.) who seek both entry- and advanced-level training in music therapy.

The course of study from University of the Pacific begins with strong foundational musicianship and adds specific knowledge and skills that meet both the professional and advanced-level competencies established by the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA).
