Our Marriage and Family Therapy program prepares you to work as therapists in private practice and at mental health agencies and organizations.

Students attend the program full‐time completing it in twenty‐four months. Student training includes (a) completion of coursework on MFT theories and practice, family and developmental theories, and research methods and statistics; (b) completion of a required thesis or capstone project; and (c) applied clinical training in our on-campus Centers for Counseling, Mentoring, and Assessment (CCAM) operated by the MFT Program. Students complete three clinical rotations on campus as part of degree completion.
