Overview

Key facts:

The University of Saint Francis designed its Pre-Art Therapy program to prepare you for success in graduate school. With elements of studio art, social work and psychology, our robust, hands-on curriculum builds a foundation in human development and behavior, encourages your artistic talent, and hones your counseling techniques.

You’ll take classes, work independently and collaborate with others in vibrant, creative learning spaces, outstanding art studios, and state-of-the-art labs. And you’ll find art all around you, with five galleries on campus.
You’ll graduate with an impressive portfolio of artwork in one of three art mediums/concentration areas: 3-D Art, 2-D Art or Photography.
