Program Information

Degree Offered

M.A.T.- Marriage and Family Therapy

Format: Campus

Program Description:

The Art Therapy Psychology Department at Notre Dame de Namur University is the only one of its kind in Northern California that offers licensing as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT). The focus in the department is on the family as a framework for human structure, emphasizing art and image as the canvas for its expression. The department is unique because it provides two courses of study if pursuing a master's degree, both of which emphasize theoretical and experiential learning. MA Art Therapy prepares students who wish to be eligible to become Registered Art Therapists (ATR) but do not intend to pursue clinical licensing. MA Marital and Family Therapy prepares students for state licensure as an MFT in California and allows recipients to sit for state boards in over 45 states. This degree program meets the guidelines established by the California Board of Behavioral Science.

Accreditation:

Notre Dame de Namur University is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
