REQUIREMENTS

Candidates for admission must have completed an undergraduate degree from an accredited college or university and have had a minimum of 9 credits in undergraduate psychology, sociology, or related behavioral science studies. Deficiencies must be completed prior to full acceptance into the program. Applications must be made to the university and to the department. Official transcripts and interviews are necessary before the application can be processed. The university requires an undergraduate quality point ratio (QPR) of 3.0 as minimum standard of acceptance.

Following the completed application, the candidate has a personal and/or group interview with the Admissions Committee. An individualized program of study is designed considering the individual's past achievements and future goals.

The program is compatible with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy's educational and clinical requirements, as well as those mandated by the Department of Health Services in the regulations for Connecticut State licensed marriage and family therapists.
