Chemical Dependency Counseling

These programs are designed to prepare graduates to work as chemical dependency counselors. The associate degree program allows students to enter the job market or transfer to a four-year college or university and work toward a bachelor's degree in social work or psychology. This program meets the educational requirements of the Maryland Board of Professional Counselors and Therapists and the Maryland Addiction Counselor Certification Board (MACCB). The certificate program is designed to provide students who have earned a degree in a health or human services counseling field from an accredited college or university with specialized training in chemical dependency counseling. In order to graduate with an associate of applied science degree or certificate of proficiency, students must obtain a grade of "C" or better in all chemical dependency counseling, psychology and sociology courses.
