University of Central Oklahoma Program: Major: Substance Abuse Studies Substance Abuse Studies Major Code: 5640 Degree: Master of Arts (M.A.) Department: Sociology, Substance Abuse Studies College: Liberal Arts Graduate Advisor: Dr. J. Keith Killian E-Mail Address: jkillian@uco.edu Office Address: LAR 201 A Phone Number: 405-974-5534 Substance Abuse Studies, M.A. The Oklahoma state legislature created a license for substance abuse counselors in 2004. Among the innovations contained in this law was the requirement that a licensed alcohol and drug counselor (LADC) not only have a master’s degree but that the degree shall be in “...alcohol and substance abuse counseling...” or a master’s degree in a behavioral science or counseling related field which is “content-equivalent” to a graduate degree in alcohol and substance abuse counseling. The law also specifies knowledge areas known as the “the twelve core functions” as well as graduate hours (Title 59. Chapter 43B-Licensed Alcohol and Drug). The graduate degree in substance abuse studies will assist students to develop their skills not only in the therapeutic areas, but also in the area of social advocacy for better treatment/facilities. Leadership/management skill development will be stressed in order to keep pace with the field’s quickly evolving standards of best practices and legal/political changes. Moreover, the graduate degree will promote sound research supporting proper advancements in the treatment of the debilitating diseases of substance abuse and dependency. Training students to be competent licensed professionals in their field supports both primary goals of the UCO Mission Statement: 1) to provide excellent education enabling students to achieve their intellectual, professional, personal, and creative potential; and 2) to contribute to the intellectual, cultural, economic and social advancement of the communities and individuals it serves.
