Many students from Georgia have attended, or are currently attending one of these programs:
Pratt Institute’s Department of Creative Arts Therapy, one of the country’s oldest AATA approved art therapy and dance therapy training programs, offers an M.P.S in Art Therapy and Creativity Development or an M.P.S. in Art Therapy, Special Education. Coursework is a synthesis of creative and psychotherapeutic theory. Art making and/or movement is used in every course to teach therapeutic skills. Integrating experiential and didactic components prepares students to work with a variety of patient populations. Professors are actively involved in the art therapy field, and many maintain private practices.The program is based on a Spring/Summer Intensive model in which students study for a week in the spring and a month in the summer for 3 years. Practicums are done from September through May in the student’s home area. Weekly individual supervision is conducted by telephone. For more info, visit www.pratt.edu/creative_arts_therapy or call (718) 636-3428
Saint Mary -of-the-Woods College offers an AATA approved Master of Art Therapy degree in the distance learning format. It is physically located near Terre Haute Indiana. Students must travel to the school each semester to meet their teacher, have class, get their assignments, and meet with faculty and staff. This is done through an extended weekend at the beginning of each semester. The summer semesters require a week on campus, resulting in a three and a half year commitment. The course work is done at home, with e-mail contact between student and faculty, and sent in by e-mail. Students take two courses per semester, and half time is allowed so they may do just one course per semester, or may take a semester off. All observations, practicum work, and internship work must be arranged by the student with registered art therapists in the student's home area. The program's curriculum includes clinical counseling along with art therapy. The school requires a portfolio of art rather than GRE scores. The faculty members are adjunct faculty who practice art therapy all over the United States. For more info, visit: www.smwc.edu
