Compassionate Advocate
Attended in person not online. I think that makes a difference. Amazing professors. They truly care and advocate for students, besides being very knowledgeable. They lead by example. I loved it specifically because every professor I had was truly amazing. Online programs are different. There's going to be very little engagement ( it's the point of having the convenience of being online). I would attend in-person at one of their campuses. It's a whole different experience. Really happy I went for my MFT degree. They really care about educating students to think systemically and who care about vulnerable populations. 10/10
