Online Bachelor of Science in Substance Abuse Counseling
The University of Cincinnati’s online Bachelor’s degree in Substance Abuse Counseling prepares graduates for rewarding careers helping those who are struggling with drug and alcohol addictions.
What Is Substance Abuse Counseling?
Substance abuse counseling is a high-demand profession that can make a real difference in the community. Counselors are needed to help people who struggle with drug and alcohol addictions learn to modify their behavior to lead them on the road to eventual recovery.
The University of Cincinnati’s Bachelor of Substance Abuse Counseling Program
The Bachelor of Science in Substance Abuse Counseling (Program) is a cutting-edge, research-oriented program that provides students with essential knowledge, competencies, and skills to kickstart careers in substance use disorder (SUD) counseling.
The Program meets the Ohio Chemical Dependency Professionals Board requirements for becoming a Chemical Dependency Counselor Assistant (CDCA), as well as the requirements for corresponding certifications in many other states.
The Program also meets three of the four (the degree, education hour, and Core Function experience (220 hours)) requirements for becoming a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor III (LCDC III) in Ohio, as well as some of the requirements for corresponding certifications and licenses in many other states.
In Ohio, students pursuing the LCDC III must also meet a fourth requirement—document 2,000 hours (approximately one year) of supervised SUD related field work experience before sitting for the Alcohol and Drug Counselor Exam. This additional field work experience is not provided as part of, nor a requirement of, the Program.
Because the number of required work field experience hours necessary for obtaining bachelor’s degree level licensure varies by state, students are advised early in the Program to determine how many are required for licensure goals in the state(s) where they will practice.
LCDC III Licensure Requirements in Ohio
- Degree – Behavioral Science Bachelor’s Degree
- Education – Completion of 180 hours of Specific Education for Substance Use Disorder Professionals
- Core Function – 220 Hours Practical Work Experience
- Work Experience – Chemical dependency counseling SUD related compensated field work experience or supervised internship/practicum totaling 2,000 hours (approximately one year)
