The master's program in Marriage and Family Therapy is one of only two CACREP Accredited MFT programs in Pennsylvania. The Counsil for the Accredidation of Counseling and Related Programs (CACREP) approval of the Duquesne program permits graduates to apply for national certification while in the last semester of study; this can save the graduate two years of post master's experience. The Marriage and Family Therapy program requires a minimum of 60 credits. The program enables graduates to obtain a License in Marriage and Family Therapy in Pennsylvania and pursue a career in marriage and family agencies and in private practice settings.
