The fieldwork will give a hands-on experience in community agencies who deliver these services. Fieldwork will count towards the fieldwork\/experience hours required for certification.<\/p>\n<p>In the fieldwork setting, students are required to act in a professional manner and abide by ethical guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>The minor will be of particular interest to students majoring in the helping professions such as psychology and social work. Some courses in the minor also count towards satisfying major requirements in psychology and social work. However, the minor is open to all interested students.<\/p>\n<p>Note: For further information on State CAC\/<br \/>\nCADC requirements please contact:<br \/>\nThe Certification Board<br \/>\n1200 Tices Lane<br \/>\nEast Brunswick, NJ 08816<br \/>\n1 732 249 1991<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.certbd.com\">www.certbd.com<\/a>**<\/p>\n<p>The faculty teaching in this program are all professionals in the field of substance abuse counseling. In addition to full-time faculty and staff at Ramapo College, experts from the community teach in the program on an adjunct basis. This provides students with the best combination: excellent teachers who have years of direct, professional experience in the field.<\/p>\n<p>*Introduction to Biology, Fundamentals of Biology or approved course by the Convener.<br \/>\n** Disclaimer below<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\" type=\"button\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\">Requirements of the Minor<\/div>\n<ol>\n<li>At least 1\/2 of the courses fulfilling a minor must be distinct from the student\u2019s major.
