    Program Description

    The mental health counseling program is a 60-hour CACREP accredited program designed to prepare human service providers to deal with problems and general concerns of human service agency clients and employees. An option within the program permits students to meet the educational requirements for credentialing in the field of alcoholism and substance abuse counseling. Students who complete additional fieldwork and pass the State examination become eligible for Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counselor (CASAC) status.

    Enter the description for this program as it should appear in the catalog. (Please submit the curriculum/course listing as a file attachment. This section is for a description of the program for the college catalog).
  • Justification for Proposal*

    The Mental Health Counseling program prepares students for licensure as a Mental Health Counselor. It is a NYS registered program and CACREP accredited (Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs). As part of CACREP accreditation requirements, the program must offer alcohol and substance abuse training. We have been offering CPS 560, Chemical Dependency and Its Treatment, to meet this requirement. However, we would like this to become part of the official program requirements.  

    This change would be done by substitution CPS 560 for a required elective. Currently, students are required to earn 12 credits of electives. The proposed program would require 9 credits. The total credit hours for the program would remain unchanged at 60 credit hours.

    Justification: This training is a required component of our CACREP accreditation.

  • Follow these steps to propose courses to the new program curriculum:

    Step 1

    There are two options for adding courses: "Add Course" and "Import Course." 

    For courses already in the catalog, click on "Import Course" and find the courses needed. 

    For new classes going through a Curriculog Approval Process click on "Add Course"-- a box will open asking you for the Prefix, Course Number and Course Title.

    Step 2

    Click on "View Curriculum Schema" then select “Add Core”. When the New Core appears, expand the Core and enter the Core Title. Next, click on “Add Courses” to access the list of courses from step 1. Then select the courses you wish to add.
