Completion of the requirements for the certificate program provide a strong academic basis for preparing the student to undertake further supervised clinical training in marriage and family therapy and to integrate theory and practice from a family systems perspective.
The certificate program is not intended to provide all the training necessary to function as an independent professional nor to meet all the requirements for
- (a) state licensure as a marriage and family therapist, or
- (b) clinical membership in the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.
The certificate program may meet the course requirements, but not the experience requirements, for MFT licensure in Georgia.
