Masters Degree Programs
Health Care: Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy
A Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) is a recognized and regulated mental health service provider in California, and a valid state license is required to provide designated therapeutic services and to use the title. The M.S. in Professional Counseling: Marriage and Family Therapy track is designed to prepare students for MFT or MFCC (Marriage, Family, and Child Counselor) licensure in the state of California. The M.S. in Professional Counseling: Marriage and Family Therapy Track requires 60 credit hours. The program’s courses will meet the academic requirements established by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences.
The MFT specialty is unique to California, however, similar or related specializations and providers are recognized by many other states. The California MFT licensing requirements reflect relatively high standards of preparation and are among the most stringent in the country (for similar licensure). It is likely that the California requirements for the MFT will meet most of the requirements for a similar license or accreditation in other states. Nevertheless, each state has different regulations and demands; it is the students’ responsibility to ascertain the requirements of a particular state and to determine how closely the California MFT preparation will satisfy their requirements.

"This was a wonderful program for me and a great opportunity. I am not so computer savvy and the online program is fabulous, and the mentors and teachers are so incredibly helpful. I am so fabulously blessed."
- Evia Michelle Dyer-Lewis,
Kindergarten Teacher
"Before this opportunity I had no way of affording going back to school. At my age I always wanted to continue my education, so I waited until my kids finished school. Now it was my turn and this opportunity was great timing. Thank you."
- Joseph Seahorn,
Athletic Director/Teacher
"I always wanted to go back to school and get my Masters, I just didn't know how until during a professional development session. Mind Streams did a presentation for our school. I joined later on that year. I had lots of questions when I first started and a representative was more than helpful during the whole process. I still call him when I have questions. Other members of Mind Streams have also called to check on me. They are all great, friendly and very helpful."

"This has been a wonderful experience. I love that I can travel around the U.S. with my laptop to be in touch with my classmates and perform all my classes properly. It is a really good opportunity to finish a Masters Degree program."
- Elizabeth Ortiz,

"My experience with Mind Streams and the University was positive from the beginning. I believe Mind Streams really puts the individual first. They had the patience to help me work out a solution to further my education and realize my dream of graduating with a Masters, while my son graduates from high school in 07."
- Debbie Blair,
Special Education Teacher
"I'm overwhelmed with the opportunity to continue my education. At one point in my life I felt as if there was no hope for me to go back to school. My co-worker introduced me to this program and I can't thank her enough. I'm learning new things and new people, all at the same time. This program is so convenient for me and my kids. I can be a full time mother and get my education too."
- Consuela Mayfield
"I entered the program unsure of myself because it has been 22 years since I have studied in university. So, I didn't know how I was going to update myself with the website programs after all this time. But I already have 15 hours with excellence in all my courses and every time I enter a new course I feel more confident in myself. I love the online program."
- Evelyn Quinones,
Bilingual Teacher
"I am so thankful for Nicole from Mind Streams encouragement and assistance. I might have quit before I began and on into my first class if not for her encouragement."
- Cissy Wong,
Paraprofessional
