The Master of Science in Marital and Family Therapy (MSMFT) provides Christian individuals with the professional training and clinical skills necessary for licensure or certification as a marital and family therapist.  Students are challenged to integrate their therapeutic practice into a faith-filled theological vision of wholeness in human relationships.

The goal of the program is to train competent clinicians who will continue to approach their craft within a broader understanding of the ministry of the church. The MSMFT requires the successful completion of 106 quarter units. The program is designed for full-time study at the Pasadena main campus and can be completed in two years in a cohort structure, in which students take the same core requirements on the curriculum together throughout the program.
