Overview
The Marital and Family Therapy (MFT) program at University of San Diego is accredited by the Board of Behavioral Sciences (California) and the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy (COAMFTE).
Students complete rigorous coursework and a 12-month clinical practicum in community sites, such as Rady Children’s Hospital Outpatient Psychiatry and the Eating Disorders Center for Treatment and Research at UCSD. Full-time students graduate in 2 years and accrue approximately 1100 hours toward the 3,000 hours required for MFT licensure in California. After graduation, students become Registered Associate Marital and Family Therapists and continue their training in preparation for licensure.
Coursework that covers every angle
As a program that deeply embraces diversity, it's fitting that our coursework explores diverse angles of therapeutic practice. Learn the specifics of how aging issues play out in family therapy, how to work with clients coping with substance abuse, and how to integrate research on social neuroscience.
