About the admissions process

In order to apply to the Advanced Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy program applicants must:

• possess at least a master's degree in a NYS licensable mental health-related field (e.g., social work, psychology, psychiatry, mental health counseling) from an accredited college or university.
• provide official transcripts from completed graduate program
• submit two letters of recommendation
• submit a resume or curriculum vitae
• submit a professional goal statement
• interview with MFT faculty member

Students are admitted once per year and proceed through the program as a cohort.  All students participate in a program orientation the week before the program starts. Orientation includes the program director, the director of clinical training and faculty who will provide an overview of the program and internship requirements. This forum will encourage students to ask questions and obtain clarification regarding their upcoming academic and training experience.  The advanced certificate program will then enroll between 5 and 10 students per year.
