Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a Concentration in Addictions Counseling

Program Overview

The addictions counseling concentration provides hands-on skills and clinical education in problems of substance use, abuse and dependence, as well as other related and co-occurring mental health addictive issues. Our program is designed to meet the educational requirements for Chemical Dependency Counselor licensure status, as well as the international certification standards in addiction counseling.

The only higher license in this field requires a master’s degree.
