Transfer Program

This program is designed to prepare students to enter the field of alcoholism and substance abuse treatment. Among other skills, graduates will use communication skills to understand consumer problems and assist in problem solving, perform essential case management functions, maintain professional and ethical standards, understand and respond to potential crisis issues and situations, identify and contact human services resources and agencies in the community, and interact in group settings, including counseling and education groups provided for treatment purposes.

SUNY Corning Community College is a New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Service (OASAS) approved education provider.

Our program includes Peer Recovery Advocacy and Coaching (HLTH 2900) as a requirement. This is a
unique opportunity that allows students to contribute meaningfully to their communities as Certified Peer Recovery Advocates (CPRA) prior to completion of the program.

Professional Licensure Disclosure: Effective July 1, 2024, federal regulation requires institutions of higher education to make a determination whether a Title IV eligible academic program that leads to professional licensure or certification meets the educational requirements for licensure/certification in the U.S. State where the institution is located and the U.S. States where “distance education” students are located at the time of initial enrollment in the program, as well as U.S. States where the program is advertised as meeting such requirements, and if applicable, the U.S. State where students attest they intend to be licensed/certified. The Chemical Dependency Counseling AAS Degree program at Corning Community College is registered by the New York State Education Department and thus meets the educational requirements for licensure/certification for New York State. Through a good faith effort, and for the purpose of complying with the federal regulation, we have determined that the Chemical Dependency Counseling AAS Degree program at Corning Community College meets the educational requirements for licensure/certification in the following U.S. States: New York State; however, it is important to note that Corning Community College is not the licensure/certification authority in these U.S. States and cannot assess whether an individual candidate will be issued a license/certificate in these U.S. States and instead it is incumbent on each individual candidate to contact the licensure/certification authority in the applicable U.S. State for any further guidance on the requirements for licensure/certification requirements and application processes.
