MFT supervision includes one hour of MFT individual supervision per week as well as one hour of group supervision per week. This supervision is based upon the work in the student's social work practicum. Admissions Application materials for the MSSW-MFT Specialization should be included with the application materials required by the Graduate School and the Kent School of Social Work. Consideration for admission into the Specialization is dependent upon acceptance into the Kent School's MSSW Program. Upon satisfactory review of the student's application materials, an interview will be scheduled with the Family Therapy Program faculty.
Enrollment is limited.
The MSSW-MFT Specialization does not discriminate on the basis of age, gender, race, sexual orientation, disability status, national origin or religion. MSSW-MFT Specialization students must begin their MFT supervision during their first semester at Kent School and continue throughout the entire program. However, a Post-Master's Certificate Program in MFT is available to students after receiving their graduate degree. SW 651 and SW 659 are family therapy courses that could be taken as electives during your masters program and are prerequisites for the Post-Masters Certificate Program. After graduating, you will need 1000 supervised client contact hours over a period of at least two years in order to be eligible to take the state licensure examination.
