Counseling and Applied Psychological Science (Substance Abuse and Addictions), BS

Counseling and applied psychological science is a specialty promoting psychological well-being.

The substance abuse and addictions concentration of the Bachelor of Science program in counseling and applied psychological science provides coursework in counseling skills and techniques as they relate to substance abuse and addictions. Students acquire the necessary skills in screening, assessing, diagnosing and planning treatment of patients afflicted with substance abuse, addictions and related disorders.

Although this program does not make students license-eligible counselors, the coursework meets the requirements for the Licensed Addiction Counselor Technician credential through the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners (https://bbhe.az.gov/addiction-counseling).
