* The American Art Therapy Association (AATA): This is the primary professional organization for art therapists in the United States. Their website (aata.org) has a directory of accredited programs. This is the *most reliable* source for finding accredited programs.
* The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP): Many art therapy programs are also accredited by CACREP, which ensures a certain level of quality and adherence to professional standards. Their website will allow you to search for accredited programs by discipline.
* Individual university websites: Once you have a list of potentially accredited programs from the AATA or CACREP, you can check the individual university websites to confirm program details, including admission requirements, curriculum, and faculty.
Note: It's crucial to ensure that any program you choose is accredited by the AATA, as this is generally required for licensure and professional practice as an art therapist. Accreditation by CACREP is also a strong indicator of program quality.
