A Course Description for M.A. MFT, African­American Family Studies Specialization 
 
Through the African­American Family Studies program, graduate students explore mental health 
theory. Graduates gain a broad understanding of marriage and family therapy specific to African­ 
American families.  The curriculum is informed by the UJIMA model of collective work and 
responsibility. By advocating for the mental health needs of African­American families POC is 
developing marriage and family therapists for those needs.  
 
The program prepares students to use a culturally relevant approach to therapy. This utilizes an 
historical lens in the learning style that will help individuals, couples, and families of African 
descent build on strengths, improve relationships, and generate solutions to relational problems.  
Students complete their clinical training hours in community agencies serving African­American 
families, and are supervised and mentored, when possible, by licensed African­American mental 
health professionals. Students of the Masters in African American studies also complete a 
Master's Thesis Project focusing in an area of relevance to the mental health needs of 
African­American families.
