Choosing A Marriage and Family Therapy Program From Harrisonburg
The subject matter does not change by location: systemic and family systems theory, couple and family therapy models, assessment and diagnosis, professional ethics, and supervised clinical practice. What changes is how you take it. Ask each college whether the program holds accreditation from COAMFTE, the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education, how much of the coursework is delivered online, and which components require you on campus. Credit transfer is decided by the receiving institution and genuinely varies, so request a written transfer evaluation before you enroll.
