Does a BA in jewelry or photography quaify one to enter a Master’s program in Art Therapy?

I looked into a few colleges that offer an Art Therapy Master’s Degree. On the websites it claims that program prequisites are Bachelor’s degree in Art, Psychology, Behavioral Science, Social Science or a related field. I have taken several studio art and psychology courses, and I would like to work in some type of art therapy related field, but I’m more interested in jewelry making and photography, then painting or drawing. Would this qualify me to go for the Master’s Degree in Art Therapy?
