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?

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.

@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!

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)?

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!

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
