Community-Based Practicums A hallmark of the Department of Marriage and Family Sciences is our community-based practicums, where students are required to have a number of hours of direct client contact through an internship in their local communities. Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy (MAMFT) students will complete 500 hours of direct client contact (250 with couples and families) and PhD-MFT students will complete 800 hours of direct client contact (400 with couples and families). Doctorate of Marriage and Family Therapy (DMFT) students are required to complete a nine-month, 30-hour-a-week doctoral internship that aligns with their doctoral specialization. Annually, NCU students in the Department of Marriage and Family Sciences programs provide over 100,000 hours of clinical service in clinical settings around the world. 25 NCU MFT Professors… • All hold doctoral degrees • Are experienced, licensed MFT practitioners • Are published and active in the MFT field • Have previous teaching experience • Are caring, motivated professionals Our exceptional model of supervision ensures that you will receive primary support from qualified supervisors in your local clinical placement, as well as weekly secondary support via video conferencing sessions with NCU professors who are American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) Approved Supervisors or supervisor candidates. Groups of six to eight students participate in these weekly sessions through a secure videoconference link to share questions, issues and cases to gain valuable knowledge and insights from one another and their experienced NCU clinical professor.
