Pamphlets related to the Substance Abuse Counseling minor and concentration at Curry CollegeThe Substance Use Counseling minor and concentration is open to any student interested in a career in substance abuse services or in an area where an understanding of substance use is an important aspect of job performance, such as nursing and health care, social work and psychology, law enforcement and criminal justice, or college counseling and youth services. This program is also relevant for students planning to pursue graduate studies in the social and behavioral sciences, as well as, professional degrees in law, social work, nursing, and criminal justice.

Interested Psychology majors should choose the The Substance Use Counseling concentration. The minor is recommended for students majoring in something other than Psychology.

Although there is no formal relationship between the SUC Program and the Massachusetts Board of Substance Abuse Counselor Certification, the program satisfies in part the educational and practicum requirements of the Massachusetts Board of Substance Abuse Counselor Certification (MBSACC). Requirements leading to licensure are currently under consideration by the Massachusetts Legislature; this program will be adjusted accordingly.
