Admission
Entrance Requirements
Admissions criteria for the program include an educational background consisting of a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent, preferably in one of the helping professions or in the arts. Non-degree students with thorough institute or practical training and life experience in these areas will also be considered.
Students are not expected to be professional artists, but should demonstrate a commitment to work in some artistic medium. In addition, students are expected to have some volunteer or professional experience in a therapeutic, helping, or teaching role. Each student’s personal readiness for the program will be evaluated through the admission process.
