One accredited doctoral MFT program operates in New Hampshire: Antioch University New England (PhD), in Keene. 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 doctoral MFT program in New Hampshire, ranked
All 1 of New Hampshire’s accredited doctoral 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.

Blended or hybridDoctoralWhere it leads in New Hampshire
This is a quieter market than most: New Hampshire sits in the bottom quarter of states for jobs per head, paying a median of $60,030. The surveyed headcount behind that is small, so read it as indicative rather than firm.
What to know about it
Antioch University New England runs this doctorate from Keene, NH, blended. No licensure rate is published, so the score rests on graduation and job placement alone. Clinical hours run through a training clinic the program runs itself, which is the difference between being placed and finding your own site. Publishing this data is a condition of the accreditation the program holds, so its absence is worth a question rather than a shrug. Three completed cohorts is a thin record, so ask what the years still in progress look like.
Why it sits here A score of 15.5 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 New Hampshire MFT programs ordered?
This ranking of New Hampshire MFT programs is ordered on transparency and standing alone, because no accredited doctoral program in the state has published completed-cohort results and none of the scores below clears 40. 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.
A low score here is a statement about disclosure, not a measurement of teaching. A program that has published no graduation rate is given none, no estimate and nothing borrowed from a peer, and its card says so in those words. Publishing the data is a condition of accreditation, so what is being marked down is a requirement the program agreed to and has not met.
Weights, thresholds and what the score deliberately leaves out are on the methodology page.
Does a doctorate change what you earn in New Hampshire?
Whether a doctorate changes what you earn in New Hampshire is not something any published pay figure answers. Everyone holding the license is counted under one occupation code, which means the state median covers both levels at once.
Where the doctorate pays is in the jobs that will not consider a master's at all, which is a small and specific set: faculty, research, program direction, approved supervision.
The state's own figures, the median, the percentile range and the employment count, are set out alongside the master's programs in New Hampshire, and the salary page compares every state and setting.
How do you get licensed as an MFT in New Hampshire?
You get licensed as an MFT in New Hampshire by holding a qualifying doctorate first, and that degree comes either from the single accredited doctoral program above or from an accredited program somewhere else, because it is the one part of the route with no local substitute. What comes after it, the supervised hours, the examination and whatever else the New Hampshire board asks for, is set by the New Hampshire state board and is deliberately not reproduced here: those numbers change, they differ from every neighboring state, and one repeated a year out of date could cost someone a year.
Accreditation is what shortens that conversation with the state board: all of the accredited programs on this page hold COAMFTE accreditation, and a state board generally accepts an accredited MFT degree without auditing it course by course. Worth weighing alongside it: New Hampshire carries fewer of these jobs per head than the country as a whole, at 0.24 times the national rate, so ask the programs above where their graduates actually end up.
Two things are worth asking the New Hampshire state board directly before you commit: how many supervised hours it requires, and whether it accepts hours accrued in another state. Programs answer both questions confidently and are not the authority on either.
The career page walks the same route in order, and the methodology sets out how the programs above were scored.
