Return to Degree Plans & Certificates - By Degree Type Return to: Degree Plans & Certificates - By Degree Type

The Human Services Program offers three specialty options leading to AAS Degrees: Drug/Alcohol Abuse Counseling, Addiction Studies, and Counseling Psychology.

Specialty A, Drug/Alcohol Abuse Counseling, is for students pursuing licensure as a chemical dependency counselor. Students completing this degree fulfill the basic requirements set by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) for pursuing licensure as a chemical dependency counselor. Licensure as a chemical dependency counselor in Texas requires a minimum of an Associate’s Degree.

Specialty B, Addiction Studies, is designed for individuals who are currently licensed by DSHS as chemical dependency counselors in Texas. Individuals enrolled under this specialty option may be awarded up to 18 semester hours of DAAC/PSYT credit toward degree completion. Contact the Human Services Program Coordinator for details.

Specialty C, Counseling Psychology, is designed for students who wish to pursue training in the counseling area but are not necessarily pursuing licensure as a chemical dependency counselor. Students wishing to seek positions as mental health technicians or similar positions may want to consider this degree option.

Formal 2+2 transfer agreements as well as informal agreements have been established with several local universities. For more information, please contact the Human Services Program Coordinator.

San Antonio College is designated as a provider of continuing education for licensure renewal. For further information, please contact the Human Services Program Coordinator.

Students must meet with the Human Services Program Coordinator before enrolling in any Human Services course. Students enrolling in any of the Human Services degree/certificate program options must meet all current basic skill prerequisites.
