COAMFTE Accredited
Northcentral University created the first distance-based Master of Arts in Marriage
and Family Therapy (MAMFT) program to receive accreditation from the Commission
on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE). COAMFTE
is the accrediting body affiliated with the American Association for Marriage and
Family Therapy.
Our MAMFT program provides rigorous training to help students develop into
competent, ethical, culturally sensitive, and licensable marriage and family therapists
who will make a difference where they live and work.
In addition, NCU's PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy is the first and only distance-
based program with COAMFTE accreditation.
NCU strives to provide students with a quality education and training experience that
will help raise their critical thinking and research skills to a higher degree.
Regionally Accredited
Northcentral University is accredited by the WASC Senior College and University
Commission (WSCUC), which is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education
and the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
WSCUC is the regional accrediting agency that serves a diverse membership of public
