HSCD 651 Master's Project Seminar

This course supports students in creating, carrying out and completing projects designed to improve service delivery in alcohol and drug counseling. Building on work begun in HSCD 650, students review literature relevant to their topic areas, and network with local service providers regarding opportunities for implementing their projects with underserved populations. Under faculty supervision, students design projects and implement them in clinical or community-based settings that provide services to clients with substance use or co-occurring disorders, and follow up with outcome evaluation measures.
