Music Therapy is one of twelve majors offered by Berklee whose mission is to educate, train, and develop students to excel in music as a career. Students in the Music Therapy program learn to apply music's enormous force to improve the quality of life in individuals with special needs including children and adults with disabilities.

The goals of the Music Therapy program are to:

Enable students to integrate musical and interpersonal talents with the latest technology and a worldview of today's music;
Build careers devoted to helping others achieve their goals regardless of their personal limitations or challenges;
Train savvy professionals in an interdisciplinary clinical team which can serve people through the life cycle from infancy to older adulthood; and
Apply the art and science of music therapy in assessing the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.
