Students will have the opportunity to experience three fieldwork situations, each for 120 hours of supervised practice. The benefits of working in the community are numerous and often result in important professional connections as well as developing the student's sense of professional identity. Features of our curriculum have been frequently presented in professional lectures and publications. Textbooks developed for our courses are widely used internationally. The permanent faculty have been drawn from diverse disciplines, supplemented by part-time faculty who are professionally active in the community.
Students are enthusiastic participants in class, social, and community activity.
Our graduates have reported that our blend of theory and experiential learning has enabled them to excel in their professional development. About half of the Human Services graduates of our program go immediately on to graduate school. Our graduates typically attend graduate programs in social work, counseling, psychology, public administration, and education. Those that choose to work in the field before attending graduate school have positions such as child protective service workers, probation officers, outreach workers, case managers, and residential treatment workers. Many of our graduates have paid positions immediately upon graduating from our program.
