Common questions about MFT programs in Loma Linda

How many accredited MFT programs are there in Loma Linda?

Loma Linda's accredited MFT programs are 4 in number, at master's and doctoral level, all of them accredited by COAMFTE. That is the accreditation state licensing boards look for, and no other body offers it in this field.

What do marriage and family therapists earn in Loma Linda?

The survey does not break Loma Linda out on its own, which is common for smaller areas. The California median, $67,300, is the closest published reading, and no local figure has been invented to replace it.

Is a degree from Loma Linda enough to get licensed?

A degree from Loma Linda gets you to the starting line. The California board licenses on three things together: the qualifying degree, a stretch of supervised post-graduate practice, and the examination. Missing any one leaves you unlicensed.

Why do some programs in Loma Linda score lower than others?

Usually it means less has been published, not that less is taught. Scoring rests on disclosed cohort outcomes, so a thin published record sits below a full one. Each row says which of the two it is.

Where do these figures come from?

The figures on this page come from records their subjects publish themselves. What is accredited here is COAMFTE's record; what each program achieved is that program's own disclosure, which accreditation obliges it to publish, Loma Linda University, Loma Linda University and Loma Linda University included; what the work pays is the federal survey. None of it is our estimate.
