Marriage and Family Therapy (MMFT)

Department of Marriage and Family Studies

The Master of Marriage and Family Therapy (MMFT) program prepares students for Christian service and leadership, serving families and couples in a variety of secular and faith-based settings. Our program is accredited by the Commission on the Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE) and includes a 500-hour internship, typically completed at ACU’s on-site Marriage and Family Institute.

Our goal is to produce excellent, ethical and diversity-respecting marriage and family therapists ready for clinical practice or doctoral work. ACU’s M.M.F.T program prepares students for licensure, and graduates commonly pursue careers in private practices, churches, schools, adoption agencies, residential treatment centers and family service agencies.
