Abstract	This phenomenological study explored the experiences of international students in CACREP-accredited marriage, couple, and family counseling programs. Seven former international students from the program who have practiced counseling in their home country were interviewed to understand their learning experiences, adaptation process and counseling practices. Results of the study revealed three main themes: (a) overcoming learning challenges and obstacles in the United States, (b) gaining sense of belongingness in the adjustment phase, and (c) making meaningful changes to marriage, couple, and family counseling practices in their country of origin. The main themes were supported with detailed first-hand accounts from participants to give meaning to their experiences. The results indicated international students found it hard to apply marriage, couple and family counseling practices in their home country because of the American-centric curriculum and course content. Future research could focus on different aspects of the phenomena (e.g., international supervision process, clinical training for international students).
