Approved Schools with MFT Degree Programs

For California licensing purposes:

Approved schools are those institutions that are approved by the Bureau for Private Post-Secondary Education. For more information, see www.bppe.ca.gov and BPPE Update.

The list below identifies those California schools with approved MFT programs. The "Additional Courses Required" information is based on information provided to BBS by the schools. Since schools occasionally change program curriculum and course descriptions, the information below may not reflect these changes. Please contact the school directly for the most current list of additional coursework required.

The "Additional Courses Required" documents provide a list of courses offered by the school that fulfill pre-licensure education and training requirements. The majority of California schools offer these courses as part of their MFT degree program. If your degree program does not include any of the pre-licensure requirements, then refer to the lists below.

If you have an out-of-state degree lacking the required California coursework, refer to the lists below for California schools that offer these courses.

If your degree program meets the education requirements under Business and Professions Code section 4980.36, then the "Additional Courses Required" documents do not apply to you.
