Common questions about MFT programs in Alhambra

How many accredited MFT programs are there in Alhambra?

Alhambra holds 2 accredited programs, spread across master's and doctoral level. All are accredited by COAMFTE, the only body that accredits marriage and family therapy programs, and the one state boards normally require.

What do marriage and family therapists earn in Alhambra?

The figure that covers Alhambra is the California one, a median of $67,300. The survey publishes a local figure only where its sample supports one, and this page does not model a substitute.

Is a degree from Alhambra enough to get licensed?

A degree is one requirement of several. The California board also sets supervised clinical hours to complete after graduation and requires a passing score on the national examination. Rules differ by state, so check with the board you intend to practice under, especially if that is not California.

Why do some programs in Alhambra score lower than others?

The gap is usually about evidence rather than teaching. Every point in the composite traces to something a program has published about its own graduates, and a program with little published has little to score.

Where do these figures come from?

These figures come from one of three places: COAMFTE, a program's own disclosure (Alliant University - Los Angeles and Alliant University - Los Angeles included), or the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The scores are computed from those inputs and from nothing else, and the methodology page shows the arithmetic.
