Post-Baccalaureate Music Therapy Certificate

Rowan University's Post-Baccalaureate Music Therapy Certificate is intended for students who have already completed a Bachelor's of Music degree. Music therapy courses are offered in conjunction with the music therapy concentration for Bachelors of Music degree students. Students who complete the Certificate program, including all clinical training components, will be eligible to take the Certification Board for Music Therapists exam. Certificants are entitled to use the Music Therapist-Board Certified (MT-BC) credential and are eligible for state licensure as a music therapist in New Jersey.

The Post-Baccalaureate Music Therapy Certificate is a full-time or part-time program offered in a hybrid format. This means that selected courses are offered primarily online via asynchronous delivery (students review materials and complete work on their own schedule) with on-campus meetings two to three times per semester for a total of 12 hours of face-to-face class time per 3-credit course. These courses include Foundations of Music Therapy, Psychology of Music, Principles of Music Therapy I and II, Music Therapy Research Methods, and Therapeutic Principles for Music Therapists. Other courses are offered via face-to-face instruction on weekday evenings once per week. These courses include Clinical Piano Skills I and II, Clinical Guitar Skills, and Music Applications for Music Therapy I, II, and III. Music Therapy Practicum I, II, and III and Residency in Music Therapy require supervised field placements in the community under the supervision of a board-certified music therapist. Students complete approximately 60 hours for each semester of Practicum and 1000 hours total over two semesters of Residency. Courses outside of the music therapy program (Developmental Psychopathology and Abnormal Psychology) may be offered in online or face-to-face delivery formats.
