The Graduate Diploma in Music Therapy is a one-year, 28-credit program, described by Concordia as unique in Canada and the United States, preparing students with backgrounds in music and psychology for careers in music therapy. Coursework focuses on guiding clients toward health and wellness through music-based experiences, and the diploma leads to eligibility for certification by the Canadian Association of Music Therapists and the Certification Board for Music Therapists. Delivered on Concordia's campus, the program admits students in the Fall term only. Admission requires prior coursework including 24 credits in Music and 24 credits in Psychology, performance musicianship at a level equivalent to completion of a bachelor's degree in music, and functional ability on piano, guitar and voice.
