North Dakota MFT Programs

Why Online?

Pursuing an online program provides more flexibility for students to study on their own time and complete clinical experience at a local health care facility that is approved by the university. Students should be aware that some online programs require on-campus residencies, which are mandatory visits to further learn about the program they are about to dive into. Technical requirements also need to be met in order to have a satisfactory experience when learning online, like having proper computer equipment running Windows or Mac operating systems and having access to high-speed internet.
