Bethel Seminary
San Diego - MFT
Marital and Family Therapy (MFT)
This program is designed from the perspective of family systems for persons who would like to work with couples and families as a licensed marriage and family therapist in a variety of settings, including private practice, clinics, agencies, schools, and churches as a marriage and family specialist.
This degree program prepares students for doctoral studies in marriage and family if they wish to continue their education.
A 500-hour, 12-month practicum and two (three are recommended) academic years (including one summer) are necessary for the completion of the program.
Marriage and family courses are scheduled to provide a combination of predictability and flexibility. Biblical, theological, and historical courses are taken as part of the present seminary offerings in the daytime or evening. Contact the Office of Admissions for further information on this year's schedule.
Course work meets the academic requirements for licensure as a marriage and family therapist in California as well as in most other states.
