Human Services, Chemical Dependency (AAS-T)
This degree is built upon the technical courses required for job preparation, but also includes a college-level general education component. This is consistent with the dual purpose of transfer and preparation for direct employment.
AAS-T degrees are NOT DIRECT TRANSFER degrees. These are workforce degrees that contain a core of at least twenty (20) transferable general education courses including English composition (5 credits); quantitative reasoning (5 credits); and social science, humanities or science (10 credits). Many AAS-T degrees will have significantly more than the minimum 20 credits of general education.
Prerequisites
Prerequisite requirements must be fulfilled prior to enrollment in most required program courses. Prerequisite requirements are listed together with titles and descriptions of required program courses in the Grays Harbor College General Catalog.
Upon enrollment in HS 101, students must consent to a Washington State Patrol Background check. This is not used to determine program participation. It is only used to assist the student with cooperative work experience placement.
Students must have taken or be concurrently enrolled in ENGL 095 or ENGL& 101, and CIS 102.
