Overview
Key Features
In August 2009, Seattle Pacific University became the first academic institution in the state of Washington to offer the undergraduate music therapy degree program, accredited by the national American Music Therapy Association (AMTA). The Bachelor of Arts in Music Therapy program is now well established, and many opportunities await those who seek to use their gift of music to serve others.
The program is designed for you to develop entry-level competencies required as a professional music therapist, prepare you for a six-month clinical internship, and, ultimately, pass the national board certification exam to earn your Board Certified Music Therapist (MT-BC) designation.
Our goal is to provide you with a personalized education of classroom and practical clinical experiences that will allow the music therapist within you to develop to meet professional standards. In this Music Therapy - Physical Therapy and Exercise Science program at Seattle Pacific University, you will become increasingly aware of who you are as a musician and how your music can affect the spiritual, mental, physical and psychological well-being of others.
We hope to inspire you with a passion to learn about music therapy and yourself — a passion that will propel you into the profession and sustain you throughout your professional career.
Is a career in music therapy for you?
We are looking for musicians who have, or are willing to work toward, an advanced level of musical ability; who are creative, empathetic, motivated learners, and possess a sincere desire to pursue a vocation toward service of others.
