Overview

Key Facts and Outcomes

In addition, the Purdue University Fort Wayne program will also serve the student without an undergraduate degree in music therapy by academically and clinically preparing them for board certification as a music therapist through the Certification Board for Music Therapists (CBMT) and entry into the healthcare field as a clinical music therapist with advanced level clinical skills.

To this end, specific objectives for the program include: the development of professional and advanced levels of competency, as defined by the American Music Therapy Association, Inc., in the assessment, treatment and evaluation of infants, children, adolescents, and adults in music therapy within a healthcare context; the development of advanced level clinical skills in either 1) Music Therapy and Integrative Medicine, or 2) Music Therapy for Infants, Children, and Adolescents; and, the acquisition of knowledge of current research literature in music therapy and related fields and of skill in clinically-based research.

The primary objective of this degree program is the development of depth and breadth beyond entry-level competency into the profession. This will be achieved through several pathways:

A deep dive into theory and research related to clinical practice;

Extensive use of the most current professional research and clinical literature in music therapy and related areas of practice;

The application of theory, research and literature to actual clinical practice in a variety of settings.
