Increase your opportunities and skills
We offer this graduate certificate for mental health and addictions treatment professionals. Individuals with this certificate can not only better serve their clients, but also increase their employment options. Mental health professionals need additional training in addictions counseling to provide services for substance-abusing clients. And addictions professionals increasingly need graduate-level studies and graduate degrees to either qualify for treatment positions or to advance into program administration.

Advantages:

  • An opportunity to continue your education in a way that demonstrates your initiative and interest to employers and increases your knowledge
  • Graduate-level sequence of classes that organizes knowledge and information relevant to one aspect of a discipline
  • Successful performance in a graduate certificate program can be applied to a master's degree program in the same discipline
