Program Brochure

Counseling and Addiction Sciences (CARS)

The Counseling and Addiction Recovery Sciences (CARS) degree at Texas Tech University prepares students for careers in Human Services and provides a strong foundation for graduate coursework in mental health fields. CARS offers specialized concentrations in Applied Relational Counseling and Addictive Disorders and Recovery Studies. 
 
This CARS 4000 level course on clinical and leadership skills on the global stage covers not only applied clinical skills but also diversity and global leadership. The course can take the place of several upper-level courses within the CARS major and ADRS minor. This course may also apply to other majors within the College of Health and Human Sciences and other mental health degree plans.     
 
Why Prague: Prague is a beautiful city rich in political, cultural, and economic history and provides a unique experience for students. Classes are taught in conjunction with the University of New York in Prague (UNYP) who has partnered with TTU for over 20 years. Prague is also cost effective lowering the cost of the study abroad experience for students. Also, Prague is uniquely positioned in Central Europe allowing for exciting faculty-led excursions including weekend trips within the Czech Republic as well as Austria, and Germany (e.g., Dresden & Berlin).
