M.A. in Marital and Family Therapy?


Because Western Seminary's counseling programs assert high emphasis on classroom interaction and group involvement the options for completing distance learning coursework are limited. However, the Center for Lifelong Learning does extend their services to men and women who have been admitted to the Master of Arts in Marital and Family Therapy program in Northern California who are interested in completing core bible and theology courses adapted specifically for counseling students. These core classes are delivered on DVD ROM with Internet interaction and offer optimal scheduling flexibility while maintaining the advanced learning outcomes that characterize Western's counseling programs.
