A focus on experiential learning and a liberal arts foundation with a natural balance of the arts and sciences make uedbet体育官网 a great place to prepare for continuing with professional study of music therapy. Most uedbet体育官网 pre-music therapy students double major in music and psychology; all work closely with an advisor to complete the requirements of uedbet体育官网’s advising track for music therapy, preparing students for entrance into graduate-level licensure programs in music therapy.
