Alvernia University Liberal Arts Degrees

You may benefit from Alvernia University’s Bachelor of Arts in Addictions & Mental Health Treatment if you are passionate about helping individuals overcome substance use disorders and mental health challenges. This liberal arts-based degree offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary education grounded in psychology, counseling, and social services, with a strong focus on ethical and evidence-based practice.

The curriculum includes coursework in abnormal psychology, addiction theory, case management, and treatment planning, and is aligned with competencies needed for entry-level roles in counseling, rehabilitation, and community outreach. Faculty members have practical experience in behavioral health, providing students with both academic knowledge and real-world insight.

It may take four years of full-time study to complete the program, although prior credits and transfer agreements may reduce that timeline.
