The Marriage and Family Therapy Program integrates academic study and clinical experience to help students form a professional identity critically informed by religious and theological commitments and marriage and family therapy. Most graduates will become licensed marriage and family therapists working in private practice, agencies or churches. Others choose a dual-degree option (MAMFT/M.Div.) that leads to ordination as a minister who is trained – and most often licensed – as a marriage and family therapist. The Marriage and Family Therapy Program encourages students to explore and integrate both theological and systemic traditions that mutually inform their work with people and enrich their professional identity. Students receive individual supervision and group supervision based on direct observation, videotape, or audio tape of their clinical work.Consistent with the program's mission to train marriage and family therapists who are competent to practice in a multicultural and interfaith world, students entering the MAMFT program embody a range of differences in religious and educational background, ethnic and racial identity, gender, and sexual orientation.
