Music Therapy,
PHD
The PhD program at Temple University is a true PhD in music therapy. Rather than having music therapy as a minor or elective track within another field, or as merely the main topic for the dissertation, the program has music therapy as the major area of study with its own core curriculum of advanced music therapy courses, supported by studies in research, music, and related health disciplines. The program has undergone extensive reviews and has already been granted plan approval by the National Association of Schools of Music. It is the first of its kind in the USA.
