Pre-Art Therapy Advising
Help people with the power of creativity
The American Art Therapy Association (AATA) is the official governing body for professional art therapy programs and development. In order to become an art therapist, one must complete an AATA approved graduate art therapy program. The AATA approves schools' graduate art therapy programs on an individual basis. Unapproved schools cannot give out art therapy degrees. AATA does not dictate requirements for undergraduate programs, aside from recommending 18 credits in Studio Art, and 12 credits in Psychology which must include: an Abnormal Psychology course, a Cognitive or Social Development course, and an Introduction to Psychology course.
