Why should I choose the Addiction Studies (ADCT) major?
The conditions of alcohol and other drug abuse or dependence profoundly impact individuals, families, institutions, and society, leading to a need for professional substance abuse counselors. A major in addiction studies will prepare you for careers in psychology, human services, criminal justice, ministry, healthcare, education, and business.
A Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Addiction Studies will fulfill the classroom education requirements for entry into the field of alcohol and drug counseling. Students will arrange the additional requirements of supervised practice with their employers. This program uses evidence-based training practices incorporating digital video technology to provide students with immediate feedback on skill development. The Wisconsin Department of Licensing and Regulations endorses this program for the total required education time of 360 hours.
