Prospective Students

Why Dominican?

Dominican Counseling Psychology alumni consistently score significantly higher than the state average on the Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) Written Examination. 

A recent survey of Counseling Psychology alumni found that:

• Almost 90 percent of alumni expressed either a high or very high degree of satisfaction in their current job setting.
• Almost all alumni (90 percent) are currently either licensed MFT's or registered MFT interns.
• Almost all alumni are currently in the field of counseling (94 percent). A majority of these are in private practice and work in Marin County. 

Alumni report these program strengths: 

• High academic and professional standards

• Clinical skill in diagnosis and treatment
• Valuable relationships with peers
• A variety of orientations
• A balanced and realistic perspective of the counseling field
• Support from faculty and staff
