Overview

Because Alverno is small by design, you’ll never feel like just a number here. With the opportunity to build strong relationships with faculty and peers, you’ll be known for you are and who you are meant to be.

At Alverno, hands-on learning is an essential component of your entire education. In the art therapy major, your classroom experiences, multiple field placements and an internship will introduce you to creative processes that enhance personal wellness. As you move from observing to leading, we’ll make sure you work with a variety of populations, such as the elderly or children on the autism spectrum, so that you’ll have a well-rounded understanding of the field.

In addition to the guidance you will receive from Alverno faculty, you’ll also start building valuable professional connections. We partner with field and internship sites in the greater Milwaukee area, so you will receive mentorship from skilled and credentialed art therapy professionals.
