Equivalency plus MMT program requirements<\/h2>\n

The Equivalency Plus MMT<\/strong> track is designed for students that have completed a bachelor\u2019s degree that is not in music therapy, but have a strong background in music. Students admitted into the\u00a0Equivalency Plus MMT program are required to complete the\u00a0equivalency courses in order to continue the progression into the master of music therapy coursework. This enables students to develop the requisite skills needed to progress and develop at the graduate level.\u00a0For students that do\u00a0not have a bachelor’s degree in music, extensive music prerequisites are required prior to beginning the equivalency coursework.<\/p>\n

At the end of the Equivalency Plus MMT\u00a0track, students will have completed all the coursework and clinical training necessary to practice as a music therapist, take the Board Certification Exam, and have a master\u2019s degree in music therapy. Certain equivalency courses may be waived if a student has previously completed the course. Contact gradinfo@augsburg.edu to have a transcript evaluation completed.<\/p>\n
