Pre-Art Therapy Degree Careers
Career Opportunities with a B.A. in Pre Art Therapy
Moving Forward with Your Undergraduate Art Therapy Degree
Graduate School and Work Pathways
A master’s degree is the entry-level requirement for the art therapy profession, so preparation for graduate school is a focus of the Seton Hill Pre-Art Therapy Major. However, we also equip students to find employment with their undergraduate degree.
Human Services and Arts Agencies Careers
Our Pre-Art Therapy graduates have found work in a variety of art, recreation, education, human service, healthcare and community organizations. Should a student desire to just complete their undergraduate degree and start working immediately, opportunities for “Art Facilitation” or “Counseling” work exist which do not involve the job title or specialized responsibilities of an art therapist.
