CAT 530 - Culminating Project Seminar I and Externship

This yearlong (MT) or semester long (AT) course is an in-depth study or research project dealing with the aspect of creative arts therapy. This research process includes writing a proposal and in-depth literature review. This can be further development of a case study undertaken in previous coursework, enriched by research or a project demonstrating excellence in other clinical areas (e.g. the development of a new clinical battery or illustrated children’s book slated for future publication). ATR STUDENTS: Prerequisite - CAT*677 (minimum grade B to continue with CAT*530). First part of thesis, one semester in length. MTR STUDENTS: Prerequisites - CAT*677, MTR*600. Tutorial course for MTR students; register during semester in which research begins. IP grade will remain in place until thesis/project is completed/defended, which must take place no longer than 2 semesters after all other coursework completed, including internship.
