The Bachelor of Science in Substance Use and Treatment is an innovative degree program that takes an interdisciplinary approach to examining the biological, psychological, and societal dimensions of substance abuse and associated behaviors. The curriculum prepares students to effectively evaluate, interact with, and provide care for individuals, families, groups, and communities impacted by substance use issues. Coursework covers behavioral theories and evidence-based intervention techniques within the expanding substance abuse counseling field.
The program's mandatory classes fulfill the educational prerequisites for Texas' Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor Intern (LCDCi) certification.
To graduate, students must earn 120 credit hours, which involves completing 18 hours of fieldwork, 42 hours of core substance use treatment courses, and 18 hours of general electives - a structure that enables many participants to pursue a minor specialization.
