FAQs

Q. What can I do when I graduate?
A. Graduates who choose to go the route of licensure may initially register as interns and work under the supervision of another licensed professional in a variety of practice settings. After licensure is achieved, after a minimum of 2 years as a registered intern, the MFT graduate can work independently in their own private practice, assume wider responsibilities in a group practice or provide leadership as a licensed practitioner in a mental health related agency.  Students who defer registering as interns and licensure may seek teaching, administrative, or further educational opportunities at the doctoral level.
