The B.A. in Visual Arts Studies: Art Therapy is designed for students who want to combine creativity with care, self-discovery, and real-world impact. It sits within the B.A. in Visual Art Studies (VAS) and blends studio-based art practice, psychology, and reflective learning into a truly experiential learning program.

From day one, students make art, reflect on the process, and learn how creativity supports their own and others鈥� wellbeing. Classes are small, interactive, and studio-centered, creating a safe, supportive environment where students learn through hands-on experience, discussion, and guided practice, rather than passive lectures. The concentration is not about memorizing theory, but instead about working with materials, people, emotions, and meaning.

Graduates leave with practical experience, emotional awareness, and a strong creative portfolio along with clarity about their future professional direction.

^{*Important note: In some countries, art therapist and similar titles are regulated health professions that require a master鈥檚 degree, supervised clinical practice, and national registration or licensure. This undergraduate Art Therapy concentration does not on its own qualify graduates to practise as licensed or registered art therapists in such jurisdictions. It provides pre-professional preparation and a foundation for further graduate study in art therapy or related fields}

Complete a three-year bachelor’s degree in art therapy while earning qualifications recognized in both the United States and the Czech Republic. To graduate, students must accumulate 90 US credits (180 ECTS credits) by completing 30 courses. 

Having passed all the required and elective courses, students complete their studies by taking the graduation examination which includes a state exam covering the contents of the major module, a state exam covering the concentration module, and a thesis defense.
