Classroom study and practical experiences are combined to prepare the student to work in community and institutional treatment facilities. These facilities deal with the emotional, social and physical needs of the chemically dependent, the adolescent, the mentally ill and the elderly, as well as others. Courses include basic information in group dynamics, community resources, case management, interviewing, recording and other helping skills. A substantial portion of the academic credit may be transferred to baccalaureate degree programs.
Admission is based on date of application and satisfactory completion of placement criteria.
Applications may be obtained from the Admissions and Records Office. See pages 13-17 of the printed catalog.
