Minor Description
The Department of Psychology and the Department of Arts jointly offer a Minor in Art Therapy. Art Therapy in a burgeoning field that draws from the disciplines of psychology, art, and other creative process to promote healing and overall well-being for individuals with mental and physical disabilities. The minor provides a basic foundation for continued study or for work in community art programs and organizations where art is used as part of the therapeutic process. The permission of the chair in either the Department of Arts or the Department of Psychology is required.
Curricular Requirements
A student with GPA of at least 2.25 and a major at 成人直播 may minor in Art Therapy with the approval of the Chair of the Department of Psychology or the Department of Arts. Declarations must occur prior to the completion of the first semester of the junior year. Major programs of study with significant course overlap with art therapy minor requirements may be disallowed by the chair.
The minor in Art Therapy requires a total of 21 credits (12 from the Psychology Department and 9 from the Department of Arts) with a minimum grade of "C-" in each course. Courses may not be used to fulfill both major and minor requirements. For example, students who must complete PSY 205, Abnormal Psychology, as part of their major may not also use this course to fulfill the Art Therapy requirement. Those students should instead complete either PSY 295, Listening and Communication Skills, or PSY 310, Children and Stress.
