Printed Name: Ian Wilson Program Request - Abbreviated Template Utah Valley University Discontinuance of the Certificate of Proficiency in Substance Abuse Counseling New Program: Certificate of Proficiency in Substance Use Disorder Counseling and New Program: Certificate of Proficiency in Advanced Substance Use Disorder Counseling 08/23/2013 Section I: Request The UVU Department of Behavioral Science requests program discontinuance for the Certificate of Proficiency in Substance Abuse Counseling. The UVU Department of Behavioral Science requests approval to offer a Certificate of Proficiency in Substance Use Disorder Counseling and a Certificate of Proficiency in Advanced Substance Use Disorder Counseling. The two new certificates are “stackable” in that a student completing the Certificate of Proficiency in Substance Use Disorder Counseling, which is a two semester program, 14 credits, will be able to complete a third semester with an additional 9 credits and be awarded the Certificate of Proficiency in Advanced Substance Use Disorder Counseling. Due to changes in the licensing requirements here in Utah, these two certificates will fulfill the states requirements for licensure in these areas. UVU requests this change be effective Fall Semester 2014. These requests were approved by the Board of Trustees on October 24, 2013. Section II: Need This request is in response to new Utah statutes governing licensure in Substance Use Disorder Counseling. This request also allows UVU’s program to be consistent with the program at the University of Utah. Section III: Institutional Impact This modification should have no effect on instructional programs of affiliated departments or programs. UVU is running the current LSAC program with a cohort of 30 students per year, and plan to maintain that cap. There will be no changes in administrative structure. The only change in faculty will be the need to staff one additional course per academic year. No new physical facilities or modification to existing facilities will be required. Section IV: Finances The costs anticipated from this change are those associated with teaching an additional course each academic year. UVU is in the process of moving the program to an off-budget status and will be able to support the additional cost with tuition and fees from the program. Section V: Program Curriculum Students pursuing the Certificate of Proficiency in Substance Use Disorder and the SUDC license will complete the following courses: Prerequisites PSY 1010: General Psychology – 3 credits PSY 1100: Human Development, Lifespan – 3 credits ENGL 1010: Introduction to Writing – 3 credits (requires appropriate placement scores or ENGH 0990 with a grade of C- or higher) Course Title SUDC 3470 SUDC 3430 SUDC 4300 SUDC 4705 SUDC 481R Credit Hours Dynamics of Addiction Psychopharmacology Introduction to Substance Use Disorder Counseling Introduction to Professional Development Internship 3 3 3 2 3 Total: 14 Students pursuing the Certificate of Proficiency in Advanced Substance Use Disorder and the ASUDC license will complete the following courses: Course Title SUDC 3470 SUDC 3430 SUDC 4300 SUDC 4705 SUDC 481R SUDC 4400 SUDC 4900 SUDC 481 R Credit Hours Dynamics of Addiction Psychopharmacology Introduction to Substance Use Disorder Counseling Introduction to Professional Development Internship Advanced Substance Use Disorder Counseling Advanced Professional Development Internship Total: 3 3 3 2 3 3 3 3 23 Program Schedule Fall of First Year (Course Prefix and Number) SUDC 3470 SUDC 4705 SUDC 4300 Course Title Credit Hours Dynamics of Addiction Introduction to Professional Development Introduction to Substance Use Disorder Counseling Semester total: Spring of First Year (Course Prefix and Number) SUDC 3430 SUDC 481R Course Title SUDC 4400 SUDC 4900 SUDC 481R 8 Credit Hours Psychopharmacology Internship Semester total: Summer of First Year (Course Prefix and Number) 3 2 3 SUDC Requirements Met Course Title Advance Substance Use Disorder Counseling Advanced Professional Development Internship 3 3 6 14 Credit Hours Semester total: 3 3 3 9 ASUDC Requirements Met 23 State Licensing Information: Beginning July 1, 2012 there are two levels of licensure for Substance Use Disorder Counseling in the state of Utah.
