Postgraduate clinical experience is preferred but not necessary. The FTTI is committed to a policy of equal opportunity. Courses are offered on Fridays through the year, with selected courses offered on Saturdays. The academic year begins each Fall, although courses may be taken at any time offered. Many are FTTI alumni, themselves.
Supervision is conducted weekly in teams of three supervisees and a supervisor.
Interviews in front of a one-way mirror provide immediate feedback to the supervisor. On site clinical work opportunities are offered at various locations of Family Service of Milwaukee and Aurora Health Care. Paid internships may be available in a variety of settings, including employee assistance program, home-based, case management, geriatric, medical clinic and social service settings. A limited number of minority scholarships are available. The FTTI is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education, the accrediting body for the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.
