Virginia Tech University–Falls Church
About the Program
The master's program in MFT at Virginia Tech prepares students to be family therapists who are well grounded in systems theory and research methods and who are competent to diagnose and treat mental illness. Students have the opportunity to receive intensive supervision of their clinical work with a broad range of individuals, couples and families at the program's Center for Family Services and in community agencies. A number of our graduates go on for doctoral study in MFT or related fields. The masters program is located in Falls Church, VA, an urban and culturally diverse suburb of Washington, DC. The program is fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education.
