Queens University of Charlotte offers an undergraduate degree in music therapy (BM) with a minor in psychology.  The curriculum has a strong clinical skills component emphasizing versatile and diverse clinical skills and experiences. Queens is one of the only programs in the USA to provide hands-on experience for freshmen. Queens is one of the few universities in the Southeast with an on-site music therapy clinic. The clinic provides music therapy services to children and young adults with varying abilities. Freshmen begin their clinical training in the clinic under the supervision of a Board Certified Music Therapist (MT-BC). In addition to working with clients in the on-site music therapy clinic, sophomores, juniors and seniors receive clinical training in various off-campus sites including educational, residential, and medical facilities.
