The Master of Arts in Therapy and Counseling Program at Ursuline College prepares students to aid clients in exploring personal potentials and problems through both visual and verbal expression. Graduates are prepared to work in a wide variety of clinical, educational and human service institutions, including hospitals, children’s agencies, mental health and counseling centers, correctional and geriatric facilities, hospice care and wellness centers. A wide range of placements are available for internships, and students are encouraged to develop areas of expertise in line with their strengths and interests. The Master of Arts in Art Therapy and Counseling Program at Ursuline College is approved by the American Art Therapy Association, and the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, Marriage & Family Therapist Board. The 50 semester hour minimum degree program meets the educational standards for national registration and certification (ATR-BC) as an art therapist through the Art Therapy Credentials Board. The 60 semester hour degree program meets the Ohio education requirements for counseling licensure for LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor). State licensing laws vary, so applicants are encouraged to check their individual state law for licensure eligibility requirements. Students who wish to pursue credentialing in both art therapy and counseling must complete a 62 semester hour program.
