Addiction Studies, Minor
The field of rehabilitation is dedicated to assisting individuals, primarily adults, with disabilities to live full and independent lives. With this minor degree option, non-Rehabilitative Services majors can complete the addictions track. Students will be trained in addictive behaviors with a focus on substance abuse. The curriculum is designed to meet the educational requirements for the state of Texas Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor designation with the exception of the supervised field experience required of licensure; graduates are encouraged to obtain this licensure.
