Request Information
For its second year in a row, NU’s JFK School of Psychology and Social Science is proud to sponsor the Texas Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (TAMFT) Annual Conference. For over 50 years, TAMFT has been dedicated to helping individuals, couples, families, and groups struggling with mental and emotional disorders and relationship problems.
If you’re ready to reach for the pinnacle of your profession, a career-focused doctoral degree from NU can prepare you for sustained success. Only about 2% of the U.S. population holds a PhD, and those who do earn an average of $100,000 more per year than those with a master’s degree or less.1
