Wor-Wic Community College is now offering its chemical dependency counseling degree and certificate programs online.

“I am excited that we are now offering increased access to academic courses for students who would like to become certified addiction counselors in the state of Maryland,” said Dr. Patricia L. Riley, human services department head and associate professor of social science. “Both the certificate and degree programs have fully online options and meet the educational requirements of the Maryland Department of Health Board of Professional Counselors and Therapists.”

As a state-designated program, all Maryland residents enrolled in the chemical dependency counseling programs pay in-county tuition rates. An articulation agreement is in place with Salisbury University for those who want to transfer into the social work program there.

Face-to-face classes are still being offered.
