Fall – Art Therapy/Counseling Program Option 3
This option is a two and a half year plan. We consider this plan the best for those who need to work part-time. In addition, this option provides the most affordable options for students who are dependent on financial aid funding. It also allows ample time for the student to integrate the clinical learning with the self reflective aspects of the program.
