Why a dual degree in counseling and music therapy?
The MT - Counseling dual degree offers graduates greater variation in career options, the opportunity to study the mental health service delivery system from a wider perspective and clinical experiences that enhance each program's practical training efforts. Music therapy students will be eligible for licensure as clinical mental health counselors, and Counseling students will obtain a whole new collection of intervention strategies to add to their clinical skills. Studying mental health from two different perspectives deepens the students’ understanding of the field while making them far more attractive to potential employers. Simply stated, the Music Therapy – Counseling dual degree is a “win – win” opportunity.

Degree Requirements
The total number of credits for the dual degree is 75 credits. Individually taken, the two degrees would require 94 credits of graduate work. Pursuing the dual degree provides for a reduction of 19 graduate credits. The dual degree allows for courses in one program to count as electives or required courses in the other degree program. Without an undergraduate degree in Music Therapy, students will need to complete 24-32 hours of equivalency credits.
