Hello,
I'm very interested in the art therapy program at CIIS. Is anyone on this tribe currently in this program, or has completed it? Can you tell me anything you can about it that isn't already on the CIIS website? I don't have a background in psychology, but I do have a BFA in Illustration.
The only hesitation I have with CIIS is the money. I'm scared shitless of being $50,000 in debt!!! I have a dream to create an art farm community/healing retreat center which of course will also cost tons of money and I'm scared of having to work in an office for years and years after school to pay off my debt and save enough to start the community (or any kind of business). Is this the best way to go to get into art therapy, or are there cheaper ways to do it?

Also, can therapists be travellers, or do they generally have to stay in one spot the rest of their lives because they have to keep in touch with local patients?
