One accredited master's MFT program operates in Nevada: University of Nevada, Las Vegas (MS), in Las Vegas. This page is therefore less a ranking than an assessment, covering what that program publishes about its own graduates and what the alternatives look like if it is not for you.
Every accredited master's MFT program in Nevada, ranked
All 1 of Nevada’s accredited master's MFT programs carry a score out of 100. One publishes nothing, so it forfeits the 60 points for results and cannot pass 40. That is a statement about disclosure, not about teaching.

Campus-basedMaster'sWhat to know about it
University of Nevada, Las Vegas runs this degree from Las Vegas, NV. No other master's program in Nevada holds COAMFTE accreditation, which makes the choice less about comparing and more about whether this one fits. Next accreditation review falls in 2027. The disclosure is not optional under COAMFTE accreditation, so read the gap as something to raise with the program, not as something unremarkable. Three completed cohorts is a thin record, so ask what the years still in progress look like.
Why it sits here A score of 14.3 out of 100 with the outcomes component empty. Read it as the ceiling for a program that has not disclosed, not as a verdict on how it teaches.

How is this ranking of Nevada MFT programs ordered?
This ranking of Nevada MFT programs is ordered on disclosure rather than on results, because nothing in the state has a published record at this level yet. The scores below are capped at 40 out of 100. Three components make up the 100: results carry 60, publishing them at all carries 25, and the accreditor's own verdict on the program carries 15.
The 60 points for results are not redistributed when a program publishes none. Sharing them out would score a silent program on standing alone, and since nearly every program is in good standing it would finish near the top, which would mean rewarding programs for telling you less.
The distinction matters: a program scoring low for publishing nothing has not been judged on its teaching, because there is nothing to judge it on. No figure is estimated in its place. What has been marked is a disclosure obligation that comes with the accreditation, and the card says as much.
The methodology covers how each factor is weighted and why the field is not scored on anything else.
What do marriage and family therapists earn in Nevada?
No separate wage figure is published for marriage and family therapists in Nevada. The federal survey suppresses a state estimate when the surveyed headcount is too small to release without identifying employers, so there is nothing to quote rather than something disappointing to quote. The national median of $66,940 is the closest usable number. The full state-by-state and setting-by-setting breakdown is on the salary page.
How do you get licensed as an MFT in Nevada?
Getting licensed as an MFT in Nevada starts with a qualifying master's degree, and the state offers exactly one accredited master's program to get it from, which is why the out-of-state and distance options on this page matter more here than they would in California. Beyond the degree, Nevada's specific requirements for supervised hours and coursework belong to its state licensing board, and repeating them here would mean publishing numbers that go out of date quietly and are acted on expensively.
What accreditation buys is a shorter conversation with the state board, which is why all one master's MFT program listed here is accredited and no unaccredited one appears. One practical note that applies wherever you train: start the conversation about supervised hours before you enroll, not after, because a program's placement network is the part that is hardest to replace yourself.
The Nevada state board is worth contacting before you apply, not after. Its answers on supervised hours and on out-of-state experience are the ones that bind, and they occasionally differ from what accredited programs tell prospective students.

Where else can you study if Nevada does not have what you want?
Where else you can study matters more in Nevada than in most states: a one-program offering means most people weighing this decision are weighing somewhere else too, which is the shape of a small field rather than a failure of the state.
The nearest alternatives with accredited master's MFT programs are California (17), Colorado (three), Oregon (two). 17 states have no accredited programs at this level at all, which is the gap the accredited distance programs exist to fill.
