The Touro University Worldwide (TUW) Master in Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) Program Clinical Track is the only track accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE). The MFT program meets the educational requirements for licensing in all 50 states. Nevertheless, several states required some additional coursework to meet educational licensure requirements.
The following table lists the determination of whether the MFT standard curriculum meets the educational requirements for professional licensure for each state and U.S. territory, or additional course work is needed to achieve the licensing requirements for public disclosure and making informed decisions.
