The Curriculum The Bachelor of Science degree in Human Services Counseling provides students with general training in human services and counseling. Drawing from the knowledge base of the social sciences, this program helps students develop a variety of therapeutic, teaching, counseling, supportive and preventive methods. Students acquire knowledge of the dynamics operating within the individual, the couple, the family, and larger social systems. The field of counseling is academically highly competitive, complex and sophisticated. For these reasons, this major was designed for junior and senior students with a minimum grade point average of 2.75.
National figures indicate that about half of undergraduate students pursue graduate study.
These three courses must be completed with a grade of B or better. Students with an overall GPA of 2.50 may be admitted on a probationary status.
