This degree fills a long-standing need to hire employees with a background in criminal justice and substance abuse issues. Many employers in a variety of criminal justice/human services/social work/counseling fields seek applicants who have a background in both of these areas. It is designed for students interested in working in the field of drug-and alcohol-related counseling, probation and parole, correctional counseling, social work, adolescent and juvenile services, community services, crime victims advocacy and many other interesting and rewarding careers. This curriculum aims to provide training for those already employed in these fields, for those who seek to enter any of these fields immediately after graduation, or for those who wish to transfer to a four-year college.
Graduates of this program will be eligible to apply for certification through the State of New York as a "Certified Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor in Training."
