Unfortunately for me (and others I’m sure), Avila no longer has the Art Therapy program. I need help finding a graduate art therapy program close to Kansas city.
Need art therapy school near me. Live in S. W. corner of MO. Kansas City would have been perfect.
I am getting ready to finish my BA in Psychology and needed help in finding a program near the Kirksville MO (in NE MO) area if anyone has any suggestions I’d greatly appreciate it…thanks
Marcia, I went to Truman for Psychology in Kirksville and was also looking for a place nearby, but the closest program I could find other than Avila in Kansas City (which is no longer available) is in Edwardsville, IL at Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville. I am currently in the program there. You would have to move from Kirksville, but it’s fairly close and I would recommend looking into it:

Thank You Chelsea for the information. Can I ask did you go up to the Master’s or Bachlor’s level in Psychology at Truman? Is there anythning offereed online that a person can take at least the begining classes and then transfer for the one’s in-seat? I’m in a contract with a house that I can’t move for til next year.
I just got my BS in psychology and went straight to SIUE after. Apparently Saint Mary of the Woods and Prescott College offer online art therapy and counseling courses, but I’m unsure about what practicum experiences they have to offer, and also unsure if you would be able to join mid-class. Contact SIUE’s office or another program’s, they can tell you the right answer. Good luck with your next steps!
I heard that TSU reinstated their counseling program, is that true? Regardless, SIUE offers classes for students to complete both counseling and art therapy classes to earn their ATR and LPC after graduation, which not all art therapy programs offer (*plug*!)
P.S. Marcia, on the Art Therapy Student Networking Forum in LinkedIn groups, many students ask questions like this. You might be able to find an answer there.
Thanks! I’ll check that out too. I really appreciate your response and helpfulness. I wish you well as you further your education too.
Just wanted to let you all know that although Avila University still offers a BA in Art Therapy.
Oops. Typo…
Please disregard the “although”. Thanks!
Check out Webster University, St. Louis, MO. (Webster, MO.) for Art Therapy.
Emporia State offers a Masters in Art Therapy!
Actually, Avila does offer a major for Art Therapy. I just went on a college visit there and that’s what I’m planning on majoring in. They said they they are pretty much the only college in my area that offers art therapy.
