Idaho MFT Programs

Marriage and Family Therapist Degrees in Idaho

Residents in Idaho may not have the opportunity to gain an in-state education that is accredited by the COAMFTE, but there are some alternatives to consider. Some of the neighboring states do have options, such as Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.

These can be found at more notable universities, like the University of Nevada-Las Vegas and the University of Oregon. Those unable to attend an on-campus program at long distance can also look into online education.
