Addictions Counselling (MSc)

The University of Lethbridge’s Masters of Addictions Counselling program is adaptable, just as its students should be. Learners have the option of a two-year full-time program, or a four-year part-time program, both granting the same credential at the end.

Students will learn applied research skills and gain hands-on experience in research, vital to pursue careers in government, the health care system, non-profits, and higher education. Learners will complete four courses and a thesis.

Students also have the option of integrating academic study with relevant paid work in an appropriate field through a co-op. This opportunity allows students to further their professional development, while working towards their degree.
