Online courses are taught in an interactive format via email or in our virtual classroom. Communication may also take place by phone or fax. Video exchanges are available if students have matching hook-ups. Some materials such as audio tapes, book reports, journals and papers may be sent back and forth via snailmail. Several of the courses are essentially "master classes" for therapists. All courses except non-credit courses require outside reading or other homework assignments. Starred (*) courses are appropriate for continuing education for expressive therapists and expressive arts therapists. A one credit or other 10 hour course equals 10 CEU's.
