Will this program allow me to become certified as a counselor, psychologist, or marriage and family therapist?
The master's in Family and Human Development does not license or qualify students to become counselors, therapists, or psychologists. While the information students learn in this program could be beneficial to therapists and counselors, this degree does not enable students to seek licensure as a professional counselor or marriage and family therapist, and the completion of an additional program or degree would be required to do so.
