Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Therapy

Endicott College

As an art therapy major, you'll learn to use the creative processes to promote positive change in the healing of others.We're proud to offer one of the few Art Therapy BFA programs in the nation. Art therapy is a four-year, pre-professional degree program integrating three areas of study: studio art, psychology, and the creative arts therapies. Primarily based in the visual arts, you may choose to augment your coursework with opportunities in drama, music, and creative writing. Through foundation courses, you'll grow increasingly comfortable working in a variety of media, and you'll be encouraged to develop your own toolbox of personal creative resources that you can share therapeutically with others.Endicott alumni have been able to secure meaningful positions in relevant fields, by becoming registered art therapists (ATR), which requires completion of an advanced degree with post-graduate supervised experience. Board certification (ATR-BC) is granted to registered art therapists who complete a master's program and pass a written examination.
