About this Degree

Utah State offers the only music therapy program in the state of Utah, and the program is one of only five in the western United States.

USU employs top music therapy educators who attract students from around the world. Over the last 20 years our graduates have maintained a nearly perfect pass rate on the national board exam and 100% job placement, as music therapists are in high demand across the nation. Graduates also have excellent internship placement at nationally competitive sites throughout the country. A degree in music therapy prepares students for an established healthcare profession that uses music to address the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals of all ages.

Music therapists can improve the quality of life for people who are healthy as well as children and adults with illnesses or disabilities. They help others manage stress, alleviate pain, express feelings, enhance memory, improve communication, and improve health through music therapy practices.
