Description

Laurier’s Bachelor of Music Therapy (BMT) is Ontario’s only undergraduate degree of its kind—a program designed to prepare you for certification with the Canadian Association of Music Therapists (CAMT). Throughout the program, you’ll learn to design and implement music-based interventions that support the emotional, cognitive, physical and social well-being of clients. With hands-on clinical placements and guidance from expert faculty, you’ll experience the true impact of music.

Entry to the program begins with Laurier’s Bachelor of Music. After completing two years of study, eligible students can apply to move into the BMT program for their final two years. If you already have an undergraduate degree, explore our Master of Music Therapy, a two-year graduate option designed for those entering the field of music therapy from a wide range of academic backgrounds.
