A University of North Dakota music therapy alumna, Carly Flaagan, has returned to her alma mater as the director of the revived music therapy program.
Flaagan, who graduated with a degree in music therapy, spent eight years in Colorado earning a master's degree, practicing music therapy, and running an internship program. She expressed her enthusiasm for the opportunity to lead the program, stating:
I had it on my radar. I had a wonderful experience here as an undergraduate music therapy major. I absolutely loved it and benefited so much from the education and clinical training that I received here at UND.
Under her direction, the program will incorporate more neuroscience and business into its curriculum.
