Master of Marriage and Family Therapy (MMFT)

The University of Winnipeg

The Master of Marriage and Family Therapy (MMFT) program prepares students to become ethical, effective, and competent marriage and family therapists who work within a systemic/relational framework. The program is accredited by the Canadian Association for Couple and Family Therapy. The MMFT program is well established, with its first graduates in 1992. It is part of the Faculty of Education. Students in the MMFT program learn to recognize the influence of their self-of-the-therapist in the therapeutic relationship, and to appropriately manage and integrate their ''self'' in their clinical work. They are expected to demonstrate an understanding of and an appreciation for diversity in clinical settings as they serve the community. The MMFT program has a strong clinical focus and is structured to meet the needs of part-time students. Most courses are offered in the evening and meet weekly. There are a few full-time spots available every year. Part-time students complete the master’s degree requirements in 6 years, while full-time students take 3 years.
