Music Therapy at Loyola

Music has the power to transform lives. As a music therapist, you'll use music intentionally to help people improve their physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and communication skills while making a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals across the lifespan.

At Loyola University New Orleans, you'll develop the musicianship, clinical skills, and compassionate approach needed to become an effective, board-certified music therapist. Through hands-on clinical experiences, personalized mentorship, and a rigorous curriculum, you'll graduate prepared to serve diverse communities in healthcare, education, mental health, and community settings.

Founded in 1956, Loyola's music therapy program is one of the longest-running programs in the United States. Our students learn from experienced faculty, engage in extensive clinical training, and become part of a tradition of excellence that has prepared generations of music therapists to lead and innovate in the profession. Our music therapy program is accredited by the American Music Therapy Association, Inc.
