Because we hold a redemptive, Christ-centered vision for the family, we believe that the finest preparation for marriage and family therapists, researchers, and educators draws on a core of Christian faith. Our integrative program builds an understanding of marriage and family relationships from Christian values and links theological studies with the disciplines of the social and behavioral sciences. The M.F.T. course of study at Fuller interpersonal in focus and holistic in approach emphasizes family systems.
Fuller students benefit from our person-centered approach as well.
Those enrolled in the full-time, daytime cohort structure are able to progress through their program as a group. And because our students also enjoy close interaction with Fuller faculty members, M.F.T. becomes an intimate community, a source of shared faith, knowledge, and friendship. While fostering Christian vision, Fuller aims to develop the highest quality of professional competence at the beginning levels of practice. We anticipate that our graduates will become leaders, people who thoughtfully address contemporary challenges such as troubled marriages, single parenting, divorce, blended families, and the expanding clinical and research needs of the marriage and family professions. Every member of Fuller s internationally known faculty is a committed Christian who integrates his or her disciplines with personal faith and dedication to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
