Addiction Studies

What are the features of Casper’s program?

The program is designed to update the skill and knowledge of individuals currently working in alcohol and drug counseling areas or those with master’s degrees preparing to become Licensed Addiction Therapists. It also trains students preparing to work in counseling, psychiatry, psychology, nursing, social work, rehabilitation, criminal justice, community service, or related human service fields. Courses are also available for current addictions practitioners who meet course requirements.

An associate of science (A.S.) degree is recommended for students planning to continue toward a bachelor’s degree in social work (BSW), psychology, or other human services curriculum. Students completing the degree are prepared with training that is in great demand for entry-level social workers.

A certificate program in addiction studies is also available to students who have earned a degree in another major area.
