Aiding in the University’s overall purpose of strengthening students in the tasks of home and family life, social relationships, civic duty, and service to mankind, the mission of the BYU MFT MS Program is to educate marriage and family therapists to advance a relational perspective on the practice and science of improving the health and well-being of individuals, couples, and families. In the program, students are instructed and challenged to develop competency in the areas of theory, clinical practice, and research. This is done in an environment that is committed to understanding and respecting multicultural diversity.
