What will I learn?

Marriage and Family Therapists, often referred to as MFTs, are highly sought-after, licensed mental health professionals that treat individuals, couples, and families. Recognized by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as one of the five core mental health professions, MFTs work to understand symptoms and diagnoses with a unique focus on interpersonal interactions - family, coworkers, friends - and how these relationships can help or challenge mental well-being.The master's degree program in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) provides students with applied learning experiences and a direct pathway to licensure in the MFT profession. Courses provide in-depth learning in diagnosis and treatment of mental illness, analysis of family dynamics, conflict resolution, trauma response and treatment, active listening skills, sex therapy, play therapy, professional ethics, and more. Students will have the opportunity to take elective courses in family financial planning in order to help families work through financially-based issues. While completing practicum, students will receive clinical supervision from licensed professional MFTs, available for English- and Spanish-speaking clients. At the conclusion of the program, students will be eligible to sit for licensure exams and apply for MFT licensure. As professionals in MFT, our graduates join the mental health profession as highly knowledgeable, practiced clinicians who can immediately join the workforce.
