it’s located in North Vancouver
there is also an art therapy institute in Toronto.
Is there no Art Therapy training on the East Coast of Canada?
Will there ever be an Art Therapy school in Manitoba?
The more I learn about it, the more I want to be a part of this growing profession.
I have recently begun learning about art therapy as a profession. I was curious as to what I might need for entry into the master’s program? I have a 4year bachelor’s degree in Community Design form Dalhousie University, a partially completed 2 of four year bachelor’s degree in fine arts from N.S.C.A.D and have taught English as a second language in South Korea. What steps might I require to apply and complete the art therapy program at the master’s level? Any comments would be greatly appreciated..

Not listed is Kutenai Art Therapy Institute in Nelson, B.C. Canada – it’s a very good school with an excellent program! I would recommend it to anyone looking to persue a career in art therapy. It is a very small school with more freedom to look at international students who meet equivalent requirements to BA. Look into it – the woman who runs it is very reasonable and provides her students with an high quality education. The program is a two-year diploma, with distance option.
I notice you don’t mention the 3 year Expressive Arts Therapy program at ISIS in Toronto.
The Toronto Art Therapy Institute (TATI) will begin offering a distance learning graduate program beginning in January of 2012. So if you live in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia or Poland or anywhere else on the planet, you can receive the excellent training offered. You will be personally supervised via Skype and be qualified as a professional Art Therapist with a graduate diploma after completion of the requirements.

Hi,
I was very interested in Concordia’s Art Therapy program and was curious as to know how subsidized is the program? If I want to pursue it right after college, would it be financially possible to pay for undergraduate student loans while pursuing this degree? What are other universities that are heavily subsidized?

Hi: please check info on Canadian Art Therapy Schools. It needs some updating. See the website of the Canadian Art Therapy Association / Training. e.g. The Vancouver Art Therapy Institute has moved to Grandville Island, in Vancouver. other schools in BC, two in Alberta, etc.
Someone asked about whether there is a training program on the East Coast. I am in the process of starting a branch in Halifax (serving the east coast). This would be a collaboration with the Kutenai Art Therapy Institute (KATI) in Nelson BC. According to plan we hope to start with the first cohort by the end of August 2012
I am a graphic designer and have been in the industry for 13+ years, however would like to look at becoming an art therapist.
Does anyone have any information as to how I can do this? I have been reading that you need university first, however I have 3 college diplomas that have to count for something?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Carol
