Art Therapy Program students learning embroidery from local artists in Croatia. GW faculty helped create the first art therapy master’s program in Croatia, at the University of Osijek.
The GW Art Therapy Program is unique in the field for our international focus. From Bosnia to Lebanon, Switzerland to Hong Kong, our faculty are sought after for their research, trainings and clinical work.
We have been a leader in international service learning. Through our summer study abroad, students investigate their own racial and cultural self-awareness, learn from local experts, develop strategies for working with diverse communities, hone critical thinking skills, and explore the role of art therapy in cultures different from their own.
