Substance use disorders impact individuals in all fields including business, healthcare, government and education. Findlay's substance use disorder courses teach students the complexities faced by those suffering from substance use disorders. Courses can be taken individually, or students can add the substance use disorder minor to a bachelor's degree.
By taking substance use disorder courses offered at the University of Findlay, you will gain an understanding of how to help individuals recover from substance use disorders. This multi-disciplinary area of study encompasses the biological, psychological, sociological, spiritual and economic aspects of all types of addictions. Only professionals currently working in the field of addictions teach the courses.
How the Program Works
Our program is ideal for students pursuing a degree in any academic areas that require interaction with the public. We also recommend this program for current University faculty/staff as well as community members who would like to be more educated on the topic. Courses are offered in the evenings to work within the busy schedule of non-traditional students.
Both the substance use disorder minor and certificate consist of a minimum of 18 semester hours which includes four core courses and two elective courses. Non-degree seeking students who would like to take one or several of the substance use disorder core courses are welcome as well.
