ABSTRACT
The American Art Therapy Association membership survey shows that 93% of its members are female and 87.8% are Caucasian. In this chapter, the author finds herself working without a GPS to guide her, as the online education environment was new territory for the field of art therapy. In 2008, she made the difficult decision to move from a renowned graduate art therapy program to the graduate art education department of a state university which had no art therapy program. In 2009, she decided that she would begin by working with an art education colleague to develop a 100% online master’s degree program in art education, because such programs already existed and there were good models from which to choose. An element that was not present in the online Master’s in Art Education program, but was one that she needed to explore, was the ability to do online supervision of internship students.
