Common questions about MFT programs in Greenville

How many accredited MFT programs are there in Greenville?

2 MFT programs in Greenville hold COAMFTE accreditation, at master's and doctoral level. COAMFTE is the field's only programmatic accreditor, which makes the count unambiguous in a way it is not in neighboring professions.

What do marriage and family therapists earn in Greenville?

Median earnings for this occupation around Greenville stand at $46,610, next to $48,100 for North Carolina. A graduate entering supervised practice should expect the lower part of the range rather than the middle of it.

Is a degree from Greenville enough to get licensed?

The degree satisfies the education requirement and nothing else. Supervised hours after graduation, and a passing examination score, are what turn it into a North Carolina license, and both take real time to complete.

Why do some programs in Greenville 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 primary sources only. COAMFTE supplies the accreditation and the location, the programs supply their own graduate outcomes (East Carolina University and East Carolina University among them), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics supplies the wages. Where a figure is missing it is left missing.
