Substance Abuse Studies Certificate

NSU is listed as a single-source provider by the Florida Certification Board (FCB). The certificate program in substance abuse studies prepares students for certification from the Florida Certification Board SS #02. The program is designed so that interested applicants may pursue certification without interrupting their current careers.

The FCB has three specialty areas for certification: Certified Addictions Professional (CAP), Certified Criminal Justice Addiction Professional (CCJAP), and Certified Addiction Prevention Professional (CAPP). NSU is the only single source provider in Florida that offers courses in all three specialty areas. These courses are mainly offered in the evening or on weekends, but may also be available online and during the day. The substance abuse studies certificate includes six core and two counseling courses.
