Music - Music Therapy - Voice Minor (B.M.)

The Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy program provides the training for the Music Therapy Board Certification Examination.

At the end of Freshman year, all Music Therapy students take a guitar barrier exam. Passing the exam is required for continued studies within the Music Therapy major. The exam is taken as part of the Methods and Techniques in Music Therapy course.

After successful completion of all HU academic requirements, students must complete a Music Therapy Clinical Internship at an AMTA-approved site. Approval from the program coordinator is required to begin the Internship, after which the student will be qualified to sit for the Music Therapy Board Certification Examination.

Applicants with a baccalaureate degree in music who seek admission to the Music Therapy program will have customized programs designed that fulfill all the requirements for the Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy. An audition, transfer of credits (up to 96 credits of courses with the grade of "C" or better from an accredited 4-year institution), and consultation with the program coordinator are required for acceptance as a transfer student or second bachelor's degree candidate.

For their senior project, Music Therapy students can either perform a recital on their principal instrument, or do a presentation based on their clinical work and theoretical knowledge.

Senior project and successful completion of internship are required for graduation.
