The Certificate in Rehabilitation Counseling and Behavioral Addictions (RCBA) imparts specific knowledge and skills to its students that are required to effectively assist and counsel those who are impacted by behavioral addictions (i.e., alcohol and drugs, sexual addiction, eating disorders, criminal behaviors, and gambling). The specific emphasis on ethnic minorities serves to address the unique needs of these individuals, which may be overlooked or misunderstood during the treatment process. The RCBA Certificate has been approved by North Carolina Addictions Specialist Professional Practice Board (NCASPPB) and meets the reduction in NCASPPB requirements for the Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist credential.

Additional Admission Requirements

• Available only as an add-on certificate to students admitted to the MS in Mental Health Counseling program at North Carolina A&T State University.
