The joint BA in Psychological and Brain Sciences and MA in Art Therapy program is perfect for students wanting to merge psychology studies with helping individuals and groups through artistic therapeutic approaches. Students earn 12 graduate credits during their GW undergraduate studies, allowing them to finish both degrees faster.
Art therapy blends creative expression through mediums like drawing, painting, and sculpting with psychological principles to promote mental and physical wellness. The MA program features hands-on internship opportunities in psychiatric, educational, or community environments. Established in 1971, GW's Art Therapy Graduate Program was among the initial programs accredited by the American Art Therapy Association.
