Admissions

Our easy-to-follow application process allows you to apply online, submit your transcripts, and provide any additional materials required for your chosen program. Our admissions team is here to support you and answer any questions you may have along the way.

1. Complete all application and documentation requirements. This includes your Application, $80 Non-Refundable Application Fee, Statement of Interest, and a Request for Transfer Credit form (if requesting transfer units). The $80 non-refundable fee is processed prior to submitting the online application.
2. Request three (3) recommendations from individuals with knowledge of your academic and/or professional potential. Recommendations are to be sent from the recommender directly to the Enrollment Services Office via email to phillips@campbellsville.edu. Click here to obtain the Recommendation Form.
3. Request official transcripts from your bachelor's degree conferral institution and any graduate level coursework. These are to be mailed or electronically sent directly to Phillips from the institution. For degrees conferred outside of the United States, please contact the Enrollment Services office for specific requirements.
4. Our mailing address is:
   
   Enrollment Services Office
   Los Angeles Education Center of Campbellsville University

International Students: The Phillips Master of Marriage and Family Therapy program cannot issue I-20 forms (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status) to international students.

Statement of Interest Applicants must submit a 400-700 word essay explaining their interest in the MMFT degree, including life experiences or abilities that prepare them for the role of a therapist. Email the essay to phillips@campbellsville.edu.

Recommendations: Three recommendations are required, written within six months of the application, and submitted directly to the Enrollment Services office. Recommenders should be able to speak to the applicant’s academic and professional potential. Recommendations from family members, friends, or personal therapists are not accepted.

If there are any questions about the admissions process, please call the Enrollment Services Office at (818) 386-5660.

If an applicant's degree Grade Point Average (GPA) falls below 3.0, the applicant is required to petition for a Grade Point Average Exemption Statement with his/her application.

The applicant must submit a one- to two-page, double-spaced, typed statement explaining past, special, or personal circumstances that contributed to a GPA below 3.0. This statement should also explain why the applicant feels that he/she would be able to successfully participate in a graduate academic program. The Exemption Statement should be emailed to phillips@campbellsville.edu.

The maximum number of units a degree-seeking student may transfer in at the master's level is twelve (12) units. To be eligible for transfer credit, units must be earned at the graduate level at a regionally accredited college or a university with a grade equivalent to a “B” or higher within the past five years and must have significant comparability in nature, content, and level to the comparable required course for which transfer credit is being requested.

If an applicant is requesting credit for graduate coursework completed at another college or university, the applicant must submit the “Transfer of Credit Request” form along with transcripts and course descriptions for the coursework for which he/she is requesting credit. All requests for transfer of credit should be submitted with the Application for Admission; however, requests must be received by the Enrollment Services Office prior to the start of classes for courses scheduled within the first term. Requests must be submitted no later than the end of the first term of attendance for courses scheduled after the first term or the request will not be considered. Any requests received after the first term of attendance will not be considered. Click here to obtain the Transfer of Credit form.

The site chair, or his/her designee, will review all requests for transfer credit and the applicant will be notified in writing of the decision. Even if credit is granted, a student may be required to audit coursework as deemed appropriate by the site chair.

Applications are accepted and reviewed on a “rolling” basis, which means they are reviewed until a program is filled. We encourage all applicants to use the Priority Application dates as guidelines to be considered for the term they wish to start. Students applying for financial aid should plan to meet the Priority Application dates to ensure completion of the admission and registration process, if admitted.

Spring 2025 - Priority Application Deadline: November 15, 2024 (Term begings January 13)

Candidates who are admitted must confirm their intention to enroll by completing an Intent to Enroll form. After the Intent to Enroll form has been received, an appointment will be scheduled to complete the enrollment agreement. The agreement will outline in greater detail the estimated amount of tuition, fees, books, miscellaneous expenses, and student performance. Once the agreement has been signed, the student will be eligible for new student registration.
