Program Overview

Antioch University’s CFT programs prepare students to become socially just couple and family therapists, emphasizing self-of-therapist work and integrating the principles of social justice and diversity throughout all courses and clinical work. The MA in CFT program is designed to prepare you to begin a career in couple and family therapy by providing conceptual and clinical skills, as well as professional development and socialization.

The mission of the Couple and Family Therapy Master of Arts program at Antioch University is to prepare and train knowledgeable, skilled, self-aware, and ethical couple and family therapists through an experiential educational approach that centers anti-racism, multicultural awareness, and social justice.
