After I finish my degree, where can I work?

Music therapists work in a wide variety of clinical and educational settings: hospitals, psychiatric institutions, nursing homes, community mental health centers, prisons, schools, private practice, and hospice facilities.

As the profession continues to grow, there is an increasing demand for music therapists with clinical experience and advanced degrees to serve as advanced practice clinicians, particularly in psychiatric settings and hospitals. Immaculata receives many requests for assistance in finding music therapists to fill positions, and these are shared with interns and graduates. Professional job listings are published bimonthly by the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA).
