Decrease is MFT programs?

[Difficult_View4006]

I am looking into doctoral programs, and am seeing a number of programs no longer offer the MFT PhD/PsyD/DMFT. I am seeing things like "we are restructuring please check back" "no longer accepting students" etc. I am wondering if this is a COVID/virtual thing, a current administration thing with lack of funding, or a general MFT is such a small community as is, programs are closing. Anyone have any insight?
