Portability of Degree

The USF MFT program curriculum is based on the COAMFTE Developmental Competency Components. The curriculum meets requirements for licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist within the state of Florida. It may also meet some or all of the licensure requirements in other states. However, other states may have additional requirements for licensure including additional course work or hours. It is the responsibility of the student to educate themselves on the licensure requirements of other states if they are planning on moving out of Florida after graduation. The best way for a student to ensure they have the most up to date information is to contact the licensure board of the state they are interested in directly. Below are some helpful links for identifying the requirements of different states. These links are reference pages but it is important to go directly to each states licensing board to get the most up to date information.
