Victim/Survivor Services Course Descriptions
Dean: Dr. Chuck Wilson
Program Coordinator: Karisse Whyte
Designed for those already in the field who may also have a B.A. and M.A. or college courses, the certificate program contains the most basic set of core courses needed by anyone working in the field today. These courses are similar in content to the in-services training received by many in the field.
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 four-year institutions, they must consult with the transfer institution and with their respective KCKCC advisors before enrolling in order to determine the transferability of their courses. It is the student’s responsibility to determine the transferability of his/her courses.
