About
The online Graduate Certificate in Addiction Studies Program is designed for persons who have completed a bachelor or master’s degree with a background in social work, psychology, or a related field and are interested in obtaining coursework that can lead to certification as a Substance Use Disorder Professional in Washington state. Students without a background in social work, mental health, or related field may need to complete additional coursework to qualify for state certification. Financial aid is available for this certificate program.
Addiction Studies provides competency-based education to degreed professionals and others preparing to work in the field of addiction treatment or other community-based practice settings.
Addiction Studies programs are offered completely online. We work to provide education that helps qualify students to sit for certification/licensure examinations through states affiliated with NAADAC and IC & RC. If you are a student from outside of Washington State please contact adst@ewu.edu for more information and to determine your state requirements.
