Toronto Art Therapy Institute Distance Learning Program

TATI is accepting applications for the Fall 2014 Graduate Diploma  in Art Therapy Distance Learning Program.  We will accept 12 candidates only.  The program will be a full time program.  Each semester students will complete the equivalent of four full time graduate level courses plus take part in practicum.  The program is delivered in four semesters of four months each over sixteen consecutive months.  Students beginning in the fall 2014 distance learning program will complete all coursework in at the end of 2015.  Students will then have two years to complete a thesis or major project. Practicum will be arranged for students on an individual basis in the student's community.  Curriculum is the same as our on site program (see www.tati.on.ca) but delivered in a distance learning modality.  An undergraduate degree from a reputable university is required.
