Argosy University's Marriage and Family Therapy programs are designed to train working professionals to help families diagnose problems and then manage closer relationships in productive, cooperative and satisfying ways. Our core curriculum offers unique insight into a wide array of relationship issues that cover mental and nervous disorders and problems within the family system.
Marriage and Family Therapy (M.A.)
Our Marriage and Family Therapy program introduces students to basic skills that integrate systemic theoretical foundations of marriage and family therapy into appropriate client interaction and intervention skills. The program emphasizes the development of attitudes, knowledge, and skills essential in the formation of marriage and family therapists who are committed to the ethical provision of quality services.
Marriage and Family Therapy (D.M.F.T.)
The D.M.F.T. curriculum seeks to build upon students’ prior learning and professional experience by expanding and deepening their knowledge of human development, family dynamics, systemic thinking, interactional theories, traditional and contemporary marriage and family therapy theories and practices, and the cultural contexts within which these are embedded. The program provides opportunities for advanced study of clinical work with children, couples, individuals, families, and larger organized systems and communities.
Please note that not all degree programs are offered at all locations.
