Marriage and Family Therapy (M.A.)
The Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy is a unique degree program for developing clinically skilled, culturally attuned marital and family therapists and counselors. This graduate program integrates a commitment to understanding the power of culture, oppression, and society on the developmental process.
By understanding various cultures and the impact of social-political context on the developing mind and behavior, our M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy program provides a sound foundation for graduates to work effectively as therapists who exhibit integrity, sensitivity, flexibility, insight, compassion, and personal presence.
The M.A. program offers four specializations. Students pursuing a degree in any of our three culturally centered specializations may choose to add a secondary specialization in trauma studies. Those degree students interested in this additional specialization must submit a request to their academic adviser prior to the completion of their second semester.
