Specialize in Addictions Counseling
Specialize in addiction counseling and change lives
The master's in clinical mental health counseling program from Marquette University prepares students to have a successful career as a counselor in a variety of settings and to enter the job market with a skill set that's in high demand.
The optional specialization in addiction counseling provides students with additional training concentrated on clinical services to clients experiencing difficulties with addictions and co-occurring disorders.
In addition to rigorous classroom learning, we guide students in finding the clinical placement that will be most meaningful for them. We challenge students to think critically about the cultural context of their approach, to seek opportunities to serve the underserved, and to do what it takes to Be The Difference.
