About the Program
Our MAATC program, established over a quarter-century ago and still the only accredited art therapy program in Connecticut, was one of the first in the nation to meet the educational criteria for a dual pathway to licensing as a professional counselor (LPC) and clinical art therapist (CLAT), in addition to national board certification as an art therapist. Housed in the Department of Psychology and operated collaboratively with department psychologists, the program takes pride in its high standards of clinical training, an extensive network of internship sites, and the many students whose thesis projects have won national awards for arts-based research.
