Information about MFT licensing is continually being updated by the Institute's Placement Office. Personal Psychotherapy Forty-five hours of individual, group, family, or couple therapy are required to be completed before graduation. Recent therapy experience that meets guidelines may fulfill this requirement with the advisor's approval. Summer Semester Students are not required to register for classes during summer semester but they may take required psychology or elective courses offered by other programs. Courses are generally scheduled on two days to meet the needs of students who work part-time.
