Pre-Music Therapy Concentration
The Pre-Music Therapy concentration is designed for the music student who wishes to continue into a graduate program in Music Therapy in order to work in an allied health field which uses music with therapeutic relationships to address physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs of individuals. This concentration does not lead to licensing in Music Therapy but is preparation for further study in the field. A more specific description of these requirements is located online at: http://www.ius.edu/music
Note: For best preparation for graduate study and work in the profession, this concentration should be taken with the psychology minor in Pre-Expressive Therapy (18 credit hours). For specific requirements, please review the requirements for the psychology minor in this bulletin.
