Marriage and Family Therapy - MMFT

Students admitted into the Marriage and Family Therapy program are trained to be marriage and family therapists. While they receive their clinical training, students complete a Plan C non-thesis degree called the Master of Marriage and Family Therapy (MMFT). Along with the coursework, students are required to write and present an integrative Theory of Change paper as their major project, helping them to better prepare for clinical work.

Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS) also offers a program, and program.

This program is fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE) and qualifies students for associate-level licensure as marriage and family therapists in the State of Utah. Students are encouraged to research licensure requirements for other states.

Because we are a COAMFTE-accredited program, all courses are required. See http://hdfs.usu.edu/programs/graduate/mft-hdfs for the course requirements. For more specific information, see the department’s Graduate Student Handbook at: cehs.usu.edu/hdfs/graduate/handbook.

In addition to the department’s requirements, the following are the School of Graduate Studies guidelines and are the minimum requirements for students to complete a degree.
