The Molloy University Master of Science degree in music therapy (M.S. in M.T.) is the first and only music therapy graduate program on Long Island and is designed to prepare students for advanced clinical practice in music therapy and music psychotherapy, supported by studies in research, ethics and diverse models of practice. The program is offered in a hybrid format, with a combination of in-person and synchronous class meetings.
