4. Reason for this curriculum action:
There continues to be a growing need for trained substance abuse counselors in our community. The
Dept. of Health, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division already recognizes our Certificates of Competence in
Substance Abuse Counseling I and II, along with an Associates degree, to fulfill the educational
requirements for substance abuse counselor certification. The added Case Management course adds a
critical dimension of expertise to the already existing certificates. A “Substance Abuse Counseling”
Certificate of Completion reaches beyond our current certificates and would be welcomed by employers.
Students must maintain a 2.0 GPA in order to apply for the certificate.
