Technical Certificate
Dean: Dr. Charles E. Wilson
Program Coordinator: Dr. Thomas C. Hall
The Certificate Program is available to students already holding an Associate or higher degree. The intent of the certificate is to supplement previous education with additional core knowledge in Addiction Counseling.
Since the transferability of courses will vary depending on the specific four-year institution, it is strongly recommended that if students are intending to transfer to a four-year institution, they must consult with the transfer institution and with their respective KCKCC advisor before enrolling in order to determine the transferability of their courses. It is the student's responsibility to follow the transfer requirements established by his/her transfer institution.
