Aspen

I'm thinking about jumping ship and going with Aspen for their School of Health Professions and Studies - Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Addiction Counseling

Can anyone tell me about this program?

 

Maybe someone can enlighten me on how important "NAADAC Approval" is?
It seems like a lot of states use them, all except Texas. I called the state board and they said that I could take their(NAADAC) exam and Texas would issue a License from that.

Here’s a list-http://www.naadac.org/?option=com_content&view=article&id=347&Itemid=77


So this is a top level programmatic accreditation for sure.

What is it with us, here at DegreeInfo? We spend all of our time jumping ship and little of our time sailing

I can say I finished one degree!!! I got that out of the way and now I feel I want to do something I want to do, price is a big deal with me and at $750 a course it will be very hard to do it.

 

NAADAC is a good standard to follow. There is also IC&RC, which is used also by many states certification boards. What NAADAC test are you thinking about taking? Do you have any counseling experience? Or what are your long-term goals? I know a few things about the certification / licensure in alcohol and drug counseling; it varies by state. I also know a little about the Aspen counseling programs. Write me offline or online, if you would like to discuss it.

 

Oh good, I was getting nervous because there have not been any Aspen threads in a few weeks.
