Pre-art therapy
Students interested in a career as an art or expressive therapist can add a pre-art therapy emphasis to their art major. The pre-art therapy program is designed to prepare students for entrance into an art therapy program (graduate or other two-year program). Completion of such a program plus one year’s working experience is required in order to be certified by the American Art Therapy Association.
Art therapists work in mental health centers, senior adult centers, veterans hospitals, special education programs, and prisons and detention centers. An art therapist can work with psychiatrists and psychologists in diagnostic work, treatments, therapeutics and social interaction training. A double major in art and psychology is highly recommended for students headed for careers as art therapists.
