Common questions about MFT programs in Lubbock

How many accredited MFT programs are there in Lubbock?

There are 2 COAMFTE-accredited MFT programs in Lubbock, at master's and doctoral level. Programs without that accreditation exist in the city and are not counted here, because state boards treat the two differently.

What do marriage and family therapists earn in Lubbock?

Lubbock has no metropolitan wage row in this release, so the Texas median of $46,300 is what stands here. Smaller areas are withheld to protect the confidentiality of the employers surveyed, not because nobody works there.

Is a degree from Lubbock enough to get licensed?

A degree from Lubbock gets you to the starting line. The Texas 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 Lubbock score lower than others?

Scoring follows disclosure, so a program that publishes fewer completed cohorts scores under one that publishes many. Read the evidence column before reading the gap as a difference in quality.

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 (Texas Tech University and Texas Tech University among them), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics supplies the wages. Where a figure is missing it is left missing.
