The effectiveness of the group art therapy program to improve the resilience for university students in the COVID-19 situation was verified. For this purpose, 31 college students were assigned 17 to the experimental group and 16 to the control group, and the experimental group conducted a group art therapy program contact and non-contact for 5 weeks. For statistical analysis to verify the effectiveness of the program, independent sample t-test and covariate analysis were performed using SPSS 21. The main results are as follows. First, the resilience score of university students who participated in the group art therapy program was significantly improved compared to the control group. Second, the group cohesion score of university students who participated in the group art therapy program showed a significant improvement in the post-test score compared to the pre-test. Third, the difference according to the contact and non-contact participation methods was not significant. It was confirmed that both contact and non-contact methods had a significant effect on improving group cohesion. Using the results of this study in the context of the prolonged COVID-19, university counseling institutions are expected to be able to support university students with effective programs in contact and non-contact methods by using group art therapy as a non-curricular program.
