The Art Therapy Preparation Program prepares the student for further study in art therapy on a graduate level. The program integrates a strong fine arts background with an in-depth study of psychology and art therapy. Because of Carlow’s urban location in the heart of a major medical and therapeutic complex, students have convenient access to observation and practicum experiences. Many graduates of the Art Therapy Preparation Program are registered art therapists practicing throughout the country.
