Course Description:
This is the last class in the sequence of art therapy courses at Mercyhurst University. Through course work, art therapy majors have accumulated a basic knowledge of various aspects of art therapy including: history, theory, and applications for different populations in a wide range of contexts. Students have also completed a 200-hour internship in which they facilitated art activities in a therapeutic setting. During the seminar, students synthesize art therapy concepts and internship experiences through creating a presentation, research studies, and self-reflection. Career paths and masters level study are considered.
