Art Therapy (Ph.D.)

The PhD in Art Therapy program is designed as a 3-year program with 52 required units. The cohort model is used with students admitted in the fall semester, every other year. The program curriculum is designed to meet PhD expectations with an emphasis on research integrated with practice. The target population includes practitioners in the field of art therapy or one from the allied fields who have sufficient prerequisite education and experience in art and/or art therapy. The program welcomes applicants who are motivated to take on leadership roles in advancing the theoretical, research, and clinical foundations of the profession, including those interested in teaching at art therapy programs and supervising or mentoring future art therapists.
