Art Therapy Minor

Sponsoring department:

Art

Molloy Program of Study Code: ATHMI

The knowledge offered by the Art Therapy minor aligns with the needs of students who are pursuing a variety of majors such as Fine Arts, Visual Arts Education, Early Childhood and Special Education, Psychology, Sociology, Speech Pathology, Music Therapy, Social Work and Nursing. The courses offered will provide the opportunity to consolidate the theoretical skills of a student's particular major with the tactile-visual skills inherent to artistic expression in two and three-dimensional art works created in traditional and non-traditional media. It is highly recommended that students take additional courses outside the minor in Psychology and Sociology. (See those departments for advisement.)
