UNC Charlotte offers a sequence of graduate counseling courses with an emphasis in play therapy. The goal of the program is to prepare students to work with children who are 10 years and younger in a developmentally appropriate way in both school counseling and community settings. The program is available for students who have completed a master’s degree in counseling, social work or psychology and want additional training in play therapy. In addition, students currently enrolled in the master's or doctoral program in the School of Social Work or in non-UNCC counseling programs may take the coursework required for the graduate certificate. The graduate certificate in Play Therapy will meet the post-master’s educational requirements, as specified by the Association for Play Therapy (APT) for the Registered Play Therapist (RPT) credential.
