counselor meets with patient

In our post-pandemic world, the need for trained substance abuse counselors is greater than ever before.

Students participate in clinical work as part of their major, in order to eventually sit for the New York State Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor certification.   

Why Study Addictions & Behavioral Health?

Demand for substance abuse counselors is projected to grow at a rate of 25% over the next 10 years. That translates to 79,000 new jobs.

Our program will provide the expertise needed to gain immediate employment, practice as a licensed counselor and, most importantly, begin helping patients overcome addiction.
