About the program
The two-year music therapy program is designed to help students develop advanced music therapy clinical skills in an academic health center setting. The program is the only music therapy training model housed in an academic health center. It is unique in that faculty members include mental health and medical
professionals who assist students in integrating music therapy with current developmental, mental health, and medical practices.

Didactic and clinical aspects are balanced to provide a foundation of theoretical knowledge and practical application. The curriculum integrates knowledge of music therapy with current theoretical approaches to assessment and treatment. Experiential core and music therapy modality courses are designed to help students develop the use of the self within the music therapy relationship.
