Expressive and Creative Arts
Master of Arts and Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Holistic Counseling: Concentration in the Professional Applications of the Expressive and Creative Arts
A 15-credit addendum in the Expressive and Creative Arts can be added to the 48-credit Master of Arts Degree in Holistic Counseling, resulting in a 63credit Master of Arts and Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Holistic Counseling: Concentration in the Professional Applications of Expressive and Creative Arts. This program provides students with an opportunity to specialize in the intermodal uses of the expressive and creative arts in psychotherapy, education, medical caregiving and the corporate environment.
To register for any expressive and creative arts elective course requires permission of the Program Coordinator, since they are all prerequisites for the CAGS/CGS program in the Expressive and Creative Arts.
The focus in this advanced studies program is on the integration of the visual arts with dance/movement, sound/music, and expressive writing as a tool for transformation and the evolution of consciousness. While consideration is given to all modalities and how they can be used in holistic counseling as well as a variety of other professional applications, this program is primarily based on the visual arts. Emphasis is given to the theoretical applications of each modality, and the scientific basis that supports the integration of the expressive and creative arts into multiple contexts. The program offers students an opportunity for hands-on personal work. The ability to participate in this experiential work is an essential aspect of the program.
Prerequisites
The prerequisites for the certificate may be fulfilled by taking either of the following three courses: HLC581: Introduction to Expressive Sound; HLC582: Transformation through the Expressive and Creative Arts; and HLC584: Movement, Creativity, and Consciousness: An Introduction, or by completing the three-weekend noncredit educational training program in the Professional Applications of the Expressive and Creative Arts offered by the Expressive Arts Institute.
To register for any expressive and creative arts elective course requires permission of the Program Coordinator, since they are all prerequisites for the CAGS/CGS program in the Expressive and Creative Arts.
If a student falls below a minimum 3.30 (B+) grade point average in any one of the three prerequisite expressive arts courses, he/she will not be allowed to take any further expressive arts courses unless an exception is made by the Program Coordinator on a case-by-case basis.
Students must apply for admission to either the Expressive Arts Institute noncredit program or the CAGS program in the Expressive and Creative Arts through the Program Coordinator.
Admissions Criteria
Students must apply for admission into this CAGS program through the Expressive Arts Program Coordinator. Acceptance is competitive and based on a minimum 3.0 (B) cumulative grade point average on the graduate transcript, whether the degree is completed or partially completed, and at least a 3.30 (B+) grade point average in each prerequisite expressive arts course. Students who have successfully completed the Expressive Art Institute’s noncredit program must have a satisfactory recommendation from each of the expressive arts faculty in that program to be accepted into the CAGS program. Students must also have the ability to fulfill the requirements of the program according to accepted standards of the profession as deemed essential by the faculty.
