Overview
There is a growing demand for further education
and credentials in the area of addiction. You may have a professional
and academic background similar to our current candidates. Are you a
licensed addiction professional with a bachelor or master’s degree who
has taken professional and continuing education courses? If you are,
you may have completed all the needed coursework for your master’s or
doctorate. An examination may be required to convert this coursework
into graduate credit.
The faculty are practicing professionals
who possess at least one earned doctorate and who are good
communicators. Therefore, both theory and practice are integrated for
the education that is required for your professional growth and
recognition.
