Delaware MFT Programs

Students that are looking for a COAMFTE-accredited degree are not out of luck just because there are no programs available in the state. Delaware is in the heart of the massive amount of job opportunities throughout the Northeastern portion of the United States. This means there are many educational areas to consider, especially in Maryland and Pennsylvania.

The University of Maryland offers a Master's degree in the field of marriage and family therapy. For students that are not able to travel to any of these destinations, there is a possibility to pursue an online program.

Syracuse University offers a program that requires on-campus residency for a small period of time, but the general coursework is completed online while students take clinical practicum sessions at approved health care centers. Students must have proper technology requirements in order to take an online degree.
