The Marriage and Family Therapy Studies concentration DOES NOT grant any certification or licensure in Marriage and Family Therapy. It may fulfill the academic course requirements in order to apply for licensure, however, those interested should contact their State Licensure Board to verify. Effective July 1, 2020, applicants wishing to apply to the Florida Department of Medical Quality Assurance for licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist must have graduated with a counseling degree from a COAMFTE or CACREP accredited program.
