Students may enroll in an accelerated 7 quarters or a decelerated 11 quarters plan of study, which span the coursework and field education experiences over two or three years, respectively. We do not refer to the three-year, decelerated plans of study as part-time because in all terms, students will register for enough credits to be considered full-time for the federal financial aid requirements.

At a minimum, decelerated plan of study students need to be available two days a week in their first year, three to four days a week in their second year, and days a week in their final year. Benefits of Accreditation CAAHEP accreditation attests to the quality of an educational program that prepares for entry into the art therapy profession. Practicum Field Experience All students have one to two practicum experiences that span over three quarters, either their first or second year.

The first quarter clinical practicum is accompanied by a Counseling Skills course as well as small group supervision. The first practicum experience is one in which art therapy observation is gained through the direct experience of each student working with an art therapist who role models and supervises the students on what they are experiencing in various milieus and care systems. The degree of involvement in the art therapy process and responsibilities is tailored to the student's skill development, which is discussed in various supervision venues and concretized through evaluation processes.

Depending on the site and supervisor availability, practicum student experiences may be gained in one to two different treatment settings during three academic quarters Fall, Winter, Spring. The practicum locations, throughout Philadelphia, parts of New Jersey, and surrounding areas, are assigned by the Field Education Director and require that an art therapist be on-site with the student during the formative first year of applied experience.

Internship Field Experience The second or third-year internship experience offers opportunities for students to mature and specialize as interns in a new field placement. With the guidance of the Field Education Director and art therapy educational requirements, students can self-choose an internship experience that can, but does not require an art therapist on-site.

These internship experiences also span three-quarters of the school year Fall, Winter, Spring and have a three day a week commitment to provide the students more advanced and integrated responsibilities. When students choose an internship site where there is not a pre-existing art therapy service, they receive firsthand experience of developing their role and responsibilities with administrative support alongside off-site art therapy supervision and weekly small group supervision groups.

Students selecting internships with pre-existing art therapy services also participate in on-site supervision and small group supervision groups for sustained learning and support. Arts-Based Authentic Learning Formative Assessments All practicum and internship students are required to keep written and visual journals that assist with developing observational skills as well as greater emotional and cognitive capacities to discern, tolerate, and understand the various internal experiences that emerge for an art therapist and counselor in training these are shared and developed directly in small group supervision groups.

Moreover, understanding these internal experiences alongside the observation of systems and milieu practices and lived experiences of clientele and groups, fundamentally inform the art therapy and counseling field education of each graduate student. Articulating and integrating these components over time and as distinct processes are key competencies. Attributes to such integrated learning can fall into many areas gained via processes of self-reflection and growth, interpersonal collaboration, and social learning such as:.
