Programs are only required to provide data on the past 7 years/cohort or since the program was initially accredited, whichever is shorter.
[1] Graduation Rate is the program’s Advertised Length of Completion which is how long the program is designed to complete as written.
[2] Job Placement Rate is the percentage of graduates from the cohort year that are employed utilizing skills learned in the COAMFTE accredited program.
[3] Licensure rate is the percentage of graduates from the cohort year that have achieved ANY level of MFT licensure. For Master’s programs only, COAMFTE has established a benchmark of 70% licensure rate for each cohort. Students who pursue further education (i.e., Ph.D.) are counted as not achieving any level of MFT licensure.
