Accreditation

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in music therapy program at Herron School of Art and Design at IU Indianapolis is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), requiring routine self-evaluation to meet evolving quality standards.  The music therapy curriculum is also approved by the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA).

I'm excited that we're creating music therapists who are going to be able to innovate [and who] are going to be able to create entirely new pathways for music therapy.
