CSPP MFT graduate programs are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE). Of the more than 80 license-eligible MFT programs offered in Marriage and Family Therapy Schools in California, Alliant is one of only a few universities to hold the elite COAMFTE accreditation for our graduate degree programs.
In addition to ensuring that you will receive a quality family therapy education, COAMFTE-accredited programs offer MFT students several other unique benefits, including:
Employment opportunities through the VA: All marriage and family therapists hired by the Department of Veterans Affairs must hold a COAMFTE-accredited degree.
Loan reimbursement through the National Health Services Corps (NHSC): In exchange for two years of work in an underserved area, NHSC offers up to $50,000 in federal loan payments for marriage and family therapists with a COAMFTE-accredited degree.
Increased licensed portability: Educational requirements and licensure requirements for marriage and family therapists differs from state-to-state; holding a graduate study degree from a COAMFTE-accredited program makes it easier to obtain MFT licensure in a new state.
