The Human Services Program is designed to provide the academic and practical experience necessary to enter the field of human services upon completion of the degree. The combination of academic theoretical coursework and its application through supervised field work experience provides students with the breadth of preparation necessary for employment in a wide range of human service agencies and community organizations. Students have the opportunity to enhance their programs with minors in such fields as Education, Business and Social Sciences. Stimulating courses are taught by experienced faculty who are current practitioners as well as active researchers.
