Is anyone else looking into the growing, *fascinating* field of music therapy? If so, where are you applying?

Look into the program at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. It is well established and good.

I'm really not looking for schools to apply to so much as some others with the same career goals. I applied to three schools in the Midwest - University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, and Augsburg College - and I'm quite thrilled with all of them. I really have it down to Augsburg and UWEC, as the program at UMN isn't very established at the moment...unfortunate, really.

BUT, if you know of any good programs, please list anyway! Just in case there are any juniors out there looking to go into this field.

Loyola N.O. has an excellent program

A friend of ours is at Berklee in Boston. But she also liked the Music Therapy professor she met at Montclair State in NJ. SHe also liked Temple University in Philadelphia.

And read, if you haven't already, Oliver Sacks' Musicophila. It is amazing how music can be key to unlocking memory, physical ability, and happiness in people who have had neurological damage. A great book.

Michigan State has the oldest Music Therapy program in the country and boasts that they've placed 100% of their grads over the past 5 years.

Appalachian State also has a wonderful music therapy program with a 100% placement rate. Dr, Cathy McKinney is the director.
