Information about the Department
***: Concordia's Department of Creative Arts Therapies (CATS) is unique in Canada, offering graduate programs in art therapy, drama therapy, music therapy and play therapy, all within a single university department. Diversity, inclusivity, and social justice are central aspects of our graduate training programs. Through experiential learning in the classroom and community, we offer our students support and opportunity for professional training, specialization, and research education. As leaders in research-creation and community engagement, CATS faculty members can grow and share their expertise with its affiliated centres and research collective: the Centre for the Arts in Human Development (CAHD), the Concordia Arts in Health Centre (CAiHC) and the Arts in Health Research Collective (AHRC). Located in new, custom-designed spaces, the Department of Creative Arts Therapies offers state-of-the-art studios, equipment, and technical support for faculty, researchers, and students alike. Recognized by the Canadian Association of Music Therapists, our graduate programs are internationally renowned in music therapy training and advanced music therapy scholarship. The Graduate Diploma in Music Therapy is a pre-professional training program which prepares students from a wide variety of backgrounds to move forward into healthcare careers in music therapy. The low-residency online Music Therapy MA program (research thesis option and advanced clinical practice option) is one of only three post-professional graduate programs in Canada and the only post-professional training music therapy program in Quebec.

Nestled in the heart of a pulsing city, embraced by a dynamic research university, the Faculty of Fine Arts benefits from extraordinary access to brilliant practitioners, thriving venues, cross-cultural perspectives, and an extensive network of outstanding facilities for research and production.

In our university community we value equally those practices that embrace aesthetic activism, live performance, historical scholarship, technical experimentation, skills-based production, community fieldwork and education, and therapeutic practices as well as traditional and digital fabrication.

In addition to curricular advances, the formation of significant research centres and external partnerships in the Faculty of Fine Arts continue to enrich opportunities for faculty and students alike.

The faculty is also home to a number of research groups led by faculty members who are Black, Indigenous and people of colour and disabled, and centred on their concerns.
