What prerequisites should I complete before applying to your program?

You will need to have an undergraduate degree (or established Equivalency) and a minimum of three post-secondary level courses collectively demonstrating critical thinking, skills in research and academic writing, an understanding of human development and an awareness of social and cultural contexts with an emphasis on understanding systems of oppression and privilege. Examples of applicable coursework include but are not limited to sociology, philosophy, gender studies, cultural studies, and psychology.. We recommend, although it is not required, that you have some experience of personal therapy, as well as some experience in a related field working with individuals and/or groups in a helping capacity. We have also found attending workshops and conferences in art therapy to be very helpful to applicants looking to see if art therapy is what they want to study.
