The Master of Science in Creative Arts Therapy program requires 700 hours of clinical experience. If students are unable to complete the AATA-required hours while enrolled in ATR 508, their final internship course, they may be eligible to finish the remaining hours under an incomplete, depending on placement availability. Students must consult with both their graduate faculty advisor and the Internship Coordinator if they anticipate needing additional time to meet the 700-hour requirement.

It’s important to note that students must be enrolled in an internship course while working toward their 700 hours. All clinical hours must be completed before a final grade can be submitted and prior to graduation eligibility.
