Program Overview

The graduate major in Addictions Studies from the College of Health and Human Services is designed to prepare individuals for leadership careers in the prevention and treatment of substance abuse. The curriculum is based on the premise that addictions are multi-factorial, requiring a multi-solution academic approach. As professionals in the field, students need theoretical and empirical knowledge drawn from diverse behavioral, health, and social sciences. As substance abuse specialists, students will need a theoretical knowledge of etiology and epidemiology, education and community health approaches to prevention, clinical reasoning in treatment, and a background in the political, legal, and historical development of the field. As leaders in the substance abuse field, students will be familiar with planning, managing, and evaluation of both treatment and prevention services.
