Addictions Minor

The Addictions Minor expands access to courses in the MPS in Addictions Counseling and MPS in Integrated Behavioral Health programs to the wider University of Minnesota graduate student population, meeting a need for substance use-related coursework for students in related graduate and professional programs. Students in other disciplines may also find value in expanding their foundational knowledge of substance use disorders for their own research and post-graduation career development. Although this credential does not lead to licensing on its own, students in allied professional programs wishing to seek licensure can complete the Addictions Minor, in addition to coursework and internship requirements in their home academic units, to pursue the Minnesota Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) credential.
