College Alc
"For an institution that wants to provide alcohol education to all students but has limited resources and is just looking to get their feet wet, College Alc is a great place to begin."
-David Wyrick, Professor, University of North Carolina - Greensboro
College Alc is an online alcohol education program that was developed by Professor David Wyrick, PhD, at the University of North Carolina – Greensboro, with funding from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). College Alc was built on the premise that (1) alcohol use can cause harm; (2) harms can be prevented; and (3) college students can play a role in mitigating those potential harms. The course takes a science-based, non-opinionated approach to helping students make better choices regarding their alcohol consumption.

Why Choose College Alc?
At Outside The Classroom, we have a deep understanding of the fiscal challenges presented by today’s economy, and we believe it is important to provide a range of offerings that allow institutions to select the program best suited to their current needs and resources. If your campus seeks to educate students on the risks of alcohol use but is constrained by a limited budget, College Alc provides a basic online alcohol education program for all first-year students. Consider College Alc an important first step to engaging key stakeholders in alcohol prevention and demonstrating the need for a greater investment in future prevention programming. We also recognize that not every campus has the same ability to make use of data, benchmarking opportunities, and other services available through AlcoholEdu, so College Alc may be a better fit.
Whichever program you choose – College Alc or AlcoholEdu – you can rest assured that you are partnering with the leading organization helping colleges and universities tackle the challenge of high-risk drinking.
