Online MFT programs are designed to reflect the on-campus experience. While in-person programs allow for more face-to-face interactions with your teacher, there are often downsides to attending class on-campus that are made up for in online programs. Some students thrive in an environment free from the distractions of their classmates so they can work at their own pace while absorbing the course material. It all comes down to your learning preferences when deciding if an online MFT program is a good fit.
