master of arts in psychology and addiction counseling
The mission of the Master of Arts in Psychology and Addiction Counseling program is to educate students in the foundations of counseling and addiction, to prepare individuals to apply ethical reasoning and discerning critical thought while presenting the strong communication and analytical skills needed to undertake the important and challenging roles of an addiction counselor.
The program offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to provide students with the skills needed to gain a competitive edge when pursuing or advancing in addiction counseling careers. Successful completion of the program will provide graduates with a recognized degree that will prove invaluable when pursuing growth and promotion opportunities in psychology, counseling, and addiction counseling careers.
The program is versatile in its ability to offer a course of study both for students who are pursuing licensure, or students who just are looking to further their education in counseling and addiction. Students seeking licensure will be able to complete a practicum totaling 540 hours, or students continuing their education with previous licensure or not seeking licensure can complete a research-based capstone project.
The Master of Arts in Psychology and Addiction Counseling program provides courses that cover fundamental theories of general counseling and addiction and courses that tie the two together, so that students can have a wide berth of knowledge to draw upon with a focus in the field of addiction counseling.
