Using the creative process to heal.

Art therapists build trust using the creative process to enable clients to find the confidence, hope, and courage to face life鈥檚 problems. Art Therapy at 海角社区 prepares you for entry into graduate counseling programs.

The Art Therapy degree combines extensive course work in both Art and Psychology. Your psychology classes build empathy for others, while your art courses develop an understanding of the history and making of art. You build a personal visual voice as an artist while developing an understanding of Psychology.

You work in a supportive environment set in inspiring facilities led by dedicated faculty. You have the opportunity to build skills in ceramics, digital fabrication, drawing, graphic design, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture.
