"Our program offering in this field serves mid-level professionals with life responsibilities and who want to have careers that make a difference."

According to U.S. News & World Report, Marriage and Family Therapy careers will have strong growth over the next decade, a prediction the Department of Labor concurs with in estimating that employment in family therapy will rise 14 percent from 2008 to 2018.

"As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I've monitored the growth of this profession during the last twenty years," said Dr. Luskin. "We researched and verified the popularity and the need for such a program and decided to offer it to our students."

TUW offers flexible online courses, small classes, personal attention and learning spearheaded by professors who have many years of professional experience in their subject matter areas. The graduate degree programs are designed to enhance professional development for career advancement.
