Fifth-Year Music Therapy Internship

For practicum, students are required to earn a minimum grade of a B- to progress onto the next practicum level. Students who receive more than one C in music therapy courses may be put on academic probation and may need to re-enroll in a course. Students must earn a C or better in all music therapy classes in order to be eligible for internship. Students must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.0 for all music courses. A student who repeatedly receives low grades or written concerns from supervisors on their Weekly Practicum Evaluations is also a cause for concern and will be invited to have a discussion with music therapy faculty to discuss the student’s “fit” as a music therapy major.
