Introducing the Art Therapy Education Section
This is a quick update to let you know that we’re adding an Art Therapy Education section to help out those interested in becoming professional art therapists, or interested in expanding their knowledge and skills with an art therapy education.
The schools section has been updated with schools from a variety of states and one from Canada. We hope to add more as we learn about them. We’d love it if you added any recommendations, testimonials, or even just support for your alma mater in the comments.
We will be expanding the schools and education section as time goes on, but if you have any suggestions for what we should add to either section, please leave these in the comments, we’d really appreciate it!

Thank you so much for this addition to your site.
I am returning to school for the spring semester and I will be seeking a degree in art therapy. I have a multitude of psych classes, but the university where I attended only had two art therapy classes which I did attend. I have worked in the mental health field, but have always been an artist at heart. I am really looking forward to your information. Thanks, again, Mary
Here in Australia we have three universities offering a Masters of Arts (art therapy). The University of Western Sydney, La Trobe University,the University of Queensland and the Melbourne Institute for Experiential and Creative Arts Therapy. I hope you’ll consider studying here!
Any information on what majors to take in undergraduate when there isn’t exactly an art therapy program available. Is Social Work acceptable or does it have to be Psychology (along with the studio art credits of course)?
@Kristen I would suggest talking to a career counselor at your school or someone from a potential art therapy graduate program. They can talk you through the best course of action.
@Joanne Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll be sure to add them to the list!
Thanks for the information!
Are there any graduate diploma courses in Australia ?
Not sure if my degree in psychology, diploma in multimedia design and 6mths of working experience (counseling) does matches to the pre-requisites their master programs.
all my work based since many years ago focus in Art Therapy as an artist with handycape children, abuse chidren homeless and last time blindness people.
again the same? or still continue?
I have a problem. I am a mother of two very young girls and I am living on the really last point of Namibia, Afrika. I want to become an art therapist, but can only study over distance learning. My dream is to open my own center and show Namibia the possibilties with this kind of therapy.
Can anyone help me with informations?
