The Music Therapy program provides the training to pass the Music Therapy Board Certification Examination.

Music Therapy majors are accepted by audition as instrumental, piano or voice minors. After successful completion of all HU academic requirements (including the Piano Proficiency examination prior to their 7th semester), students must complete a Music Therapy Clinical Internship at an AMTA approved site. Approval from the program coordinator is required to begin the Internship, after which the student will be qualified to sit for the Music Therapy Board Certification Examination.

Candidates for the Equivalency in Music Therapy will have customized programs that meet the criteria for the Bachelor of Music in Music Therapy. An audition, baccalaureate degree, and consultation with the program coordinator are required for acceptance into this program.

A Senior Recital will be performed with permission of the student's performance instructor. Senior recital or case study and successful completion of internship are required for graduation.
