Recognized Training
The minimum requirement to become a professional member is a master’s degree in art therapy.
In Quebec, two universities offer the master’s program in art therapy; UQAT and Concordia University. Universities are responsible for admissions to their programs. It is therefore necessary to check directly with them for the prerequisites for the Master.s program.
Consult the EDUCATION STANDARDS – JANUARY 2024 for more detailed information on possible equivalencies. An assessment of your equivalencies will be required, which will be made by the Educational Equivalencies Committee.
