The Addictions Counseling Program enables the student to obtain needed coursework for an Associate in Applied Science degree in Addictions Counseling. The student can then transfer to a four-year college or university and continue work towards a bachelors degree in Addictions Counseling or in another helping profession. The thirty-two certification hours will transfer to a four-year college or university that has a bachelors degree plan in addictions counseling. We currently have a 2+2 plan with Newman University in Wichita and Washburn University in Topeka, KS. The Associate in Applied Science program of study consists of a total of sixty-two credit hours.
