The program is designed as a two-year, full-time program, with entering groups in fall and spring semesters (fall only at the San Ramon and Santa Rosa campuses). Since most students are working professionals, classes are offered in the late afternoons and evenings.

One of the advantages of the MFT program is how our students go through the program together, forming informal study groups and building on each others’ knowledge and life experiences. We believe that such collaborative learning is a powerful force in shaping each individual’s academic and professional experience. As a result, the relationships formed in the program often lead to support and resources when approaching the licensing examinations and to professional opportunities post-licensure.

The MFT program faculty are experienced educators and practitioners who employ diverse instructional methods to maximize positive learning outcomes for adult learners. They also offer personal attention and concern for the individual student.

The MFT Program is offered on the main University of San Francisco campus and at the San Ramon, Santa Rosa, Sacramento, and Cupertino regional campuses.
