Description
Post Degree Certificate in Addiction Studies
This certificate program is intended for those students who already have a bachelor’s degree in a professional major that interfaces well with Addiction Studies. Because of the education and professional training that the student brings to the program from that discipline, it is possible to provide a curriculum of course work and field experience in Addiction Studies totaling 18 credit hours that prepares the student to work effectively on behalf of those adversely affected by addictive disorders. The post degree Certificate meets the education and internship requirements for the Certified Addictions Counselor credential (CAC) awarded by the State of Michigan.
