Studies [ Addiction Studies ] [ Addiction Counseling ] Addiction studies – addiction studies The addiction studies certificate provides students who want a specialized focus in addiction, treatment and recovery but are not preparing to become an addiction counselor. This certificate may be useful for teachers, human services personnel, or community service personnel who want to have a deeper understanding of the addiction process. Important note: Once this certificate is completed, if you choose to continue in the addiction studies program, you may apply these units toward the more in-depth addiction counseling certificate. When a student has enough units to earn either certificate, they need to fill out an “application for a certificate ” form during the semester in which they will complete the units. This form must be picked up and turned in to the Admissions Office. If the form is not filled out, a student will not receive the certificate from the college even if they have completed all the units. To earn a certificate of achievement, students must complete each course used to meet a certificate requirement with a “C ” grade or better. Required courses are primarily available in the evening and late afternoon. Although students may start during any semester and progress at their own pace, completion of the certificate requirements will take a minimum of two semesters. Certificate of achievement
