Overview

By means of online education, teleconferencing and video conferencing, this Music Therapy program from Georgia College permits the establishment of virtual collaborative learning communities not limited by geographic constraints.

Students are expected to attend virtual synchronous classes (face-to-face on an online platform) with our graduate faculty. Virtual synchronous intensive seminars occur at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters and are mandatory as part of the degree program.

Our Master of Music Therapy degree advances students from competencies achieved in undergraduate studies to competencies which are in depth, analytic, interdisciplinary and global. Applicants to the music therapy program must have completed a bachelors degree in music therapy, including an internship in an approved program, have completed a degree equivalency program.

Graduate On-Campus Seminar

On-campus seminars are held once each semester. These seminars are mandatory. Housing can be arranged with local students or local hotels.

The purpose of the seminars is to facilitate experiential learning, a key component of music therapy education. This is necessary given the asynchronous format of the Master of Music Therapy Degree Program.
Since course content is presented on Georgia View, Georgia College's online learning platform, the seminars provide the part of graduate study that is traditionally acquired during class meetings such as forming positive relationships, participation as a group, and understanding individual strengths and needs.
