There is an absence of alcoholism education in the College and University undergraduate and graduate curriculum. This lack continues to breed ignorance and misconceptions regarding alcohol and the alcoholic. To remedy this situation, the authors constucted a curriculum for a Mini-Mester course in alcoholism at an area College. This paper describes the establishment of liaison between a publicly financed alcoholism treatment facility and an area College; development of curriculum and evaluation of results. It is concluded that there is a need for such curriculum and that the public and private sector can cooperate in it's establishment and execution.
