Discover the Healing Power of Art: Combine Your Passion with Purpose

Are you intrigued by the transformative potential of Art Therapy? At ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ, we invite students to explore this dynamic field by pairing a major in Art with a minor in Expressive Arts. This unique combination allows you to deepen your artistic skills while gaining a foundation in the expressive arts and social sciences, opening doors to diverse career paths in therapy and counseling, education, community engagement, and organizational development.

The foundational course, , serves as a bridge between your major and minor, offering a rich exploration of how art can be used as a tool for healing and self-discovery. Through hands-on projects, discussions, and guest lectures from experienced practitioners, students learn how to harness the power of creativity to facilitate growth and healing. The capstone course, , emphasizes cross-cultural contexts of creative expression and the role of the arts in enacting social change.

By combining your artistic passion with a Minor in Expressive Arts, you will not only enrich your own artistic practice but also prepare yourself for a meaningful career in the helping professions. Join us at ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ and embark on a journey where your creativity becomes a catalyst for change and healing.
