Christian Distance Learning

The Master of Arts (M.A.) in Marriage and Family Therapy is a professional-level degree program. Experiences provide the foundation for psychology theory, scientific research, and clinical practice. In this context, students learn the different approaches and clinical techniques required for today's practitioners offering therapeutic services to individuals, couples, and families. Also, a major goal of this program is to help prepare students for licensure in Marriage and Family Therapy in their resident state. Students graduating from the M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy Degree program will be prepared to do therapy in a church setting, private practice, governmental agency, and community agency. This program also prepares students for advanced studies in related fields. Students may also consider taking additional courses for a dual certification in Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Counseling. Students interested in a dual certification should consult with the Dean of the School of Leadership & Human Services.
