The Masters of Arts (M.A.) degree in Community Counseling offers an Addictions Counseling Concentration. The M.A. program is accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP). The M.A. degree consists of 60 semester hours (minimum). If a student chooses to write a thesis, 50 semester hours of approved coursework are required plus 4 thesis hours for a total of 54 hours. The goal of the Addictions Counseling Concentration is to prepare students to work as counselors in the addictions field. All applicants need to meet all current admission requirements of the department and the Graduate School.
Upon successful completion of the program, the individual can apply to become a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor in North Carolina. Graduates of the program, who take four addictions courses plus a substance abuse counseling internship can apply under Criteria C of the NCSAPPB Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist Process; these applicants have a reduction in NCSAPPB requirements because the ASU Addictions Counseling Concentration has been pre-approved by the North Carolina Substance Abuse Professional Practice Board (NCSAPPB).
