About the Program
Master of Family Therapy (MFT): 91.0 quarter credits
The Master of Family Therapy Program prepares couple and family therapy practitioners. It is a two-year degree program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE).
The program prepares students for the profession of couple and family therapy through academic and clinical training. It exposes students to broad areas of theory and practice and provides an intensive, supervised clinical experience. The program emphasizes the interdependence of individual experience and the relational context, extending from family of origin (including traditional and nontraditional families) to the global community. The program is committed to training students to be aware of and sensitive to cultural diversity. In addition, the person of the therapist, including the student’s own culture, is a major aspect of the clinical training.
