Addiction Counseling

The Associate of Arts, AA at JCCC is a general transfer degree and partners well with the first two years of most bachelor degree programs. Students pursuing the AA may select courses that satisfy both the AA degree requirements and lower division requirements for a bachelor’s degree at four-year institutions. The elective hours within the AA allow students to complete additional general education and lower division courses required for specific majors. The AA degree requires completion of 60 credit hours. Meeting with a JCCC counselor is strongly recommended for selection of appropriate courses.  

The Bachelor’s in Addiction Counseling will equip students with the skills and knowledge to deliver effective rehabilitation services for individuals struggling with addiction. The degree will allow graduates to work with diverse populations in a variety of individual and group settings at correctional facilities, treatment centers, hospitals, clinics, and more. 

The B.S. in Addiction Counseling require 120 hours. No more than seventy-five hours may be transferred as credit from a community college. Each student must complete 20 of the last 30 hours of resident credit at K-State. A minimum of 45 hours must be at a course level of 300 or higher.  

Students transferring to KSU, that complete the General Education requirements required for the Associate of Arts (AA), Associate of Fine Arts (AFA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree from JCCC will be considered to have satisfied KSU’s core general education curriculum. 

Students who transfer to KSU, without completing the General Education requirements required for the Associate of Arts (AA), Associate of Fine Arts (AFA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree will have courses evaluated on a course-by-course basis toward meeting KSU requirements.
