Hello,
I have no college credit and am interested in testing out of a bachelors degree in psychology or business and moving to a masters program in Marriage and Family Therapy. My only options for a advanced degree in MFT are from Northwestern University, Capella and Northcentral. I have asked all these schools if they would accept students who graduated from these schools and they give me cookie cutter answers, "We consider any student who has the minimum required GPA from a regionally accredited school."
I'm curious how they actually judge these 3 schools and if I test out of most of the degree, if that makes a difference. Does anybody have any experience getting into a good masters program after testing out of a bachelors degree from one of the big 3?
PS. I may want a Bachelors in business instead of psychology because I can see the benefit of having a business degree if I choose to open a private practice.
