#	Program	Level	Score	Evidence
1	Texas Woman's University (PhD) A score of 21.2 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.	Doctoral	21.2	No results published
2	Texas Woman's University (MS) Scored 20 of 100 on transparency and accreditation standing alone. The 60 points for published results are unearned because this program publishes none, which is a fact about its disclosure and not a measurement of its teaching.	Master's	20	No results published

Common questions about MFT programs in Denton

How many accredited MFT programs are there in Denton?

Denton 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 Denton?

The survey does not break Denton out on its own, which is common for smaller areas. The Texas median, $46,300, is the closest published reading, and no local figure has been invented to replace it.

Is a degree from Denton enough to get licensed?

The degree is the first step rather than the whole of it. The Texas board then asks for a period of supervised practice measured in hours, plus the national examination, before it licenses anyone. Every state sets its own terms, so confirm them before you enroll.

Why do some programs in Denton score lower than others?

Because the score measures what is on the record. A program with few completed cohorts disclosed scores below one with many, and that is a fact about its publishing rather than a judgment of its teaching. The evidence column distinguishes them.

Where do these figures come from?

These figures come from the COAMFTE directory for what is accredited in Denton, from each program's own published outcome table for the rates, and from the federal wage survey for pay. The links in the table lead to the first two.
