The mission of the Human Services program is to create an academic foundation and experiential learning opportunities in the area of human services. Students will learn to creatively blend the knowledge, skills and values necessary to meet the ever-changing needs of individuals and our communities. All students are required to have voluntary or work experience in a human services agency prior to enrolling in the human services field placement. It is advised that this be done early in the program. In the final year of the program students are placed in a two-semester practicum designed to teach human service job skills.
Students begin field placement fall semester only and continue during spring semester.
Therefore Students are encouraged to see a Human Services advisor early in the program to plan a schedule of classes to ensure that all practicum entrance requirements are met. Students planning to transfer should design their individual programs with an advisor to meet the specific requirements of the institutions they plan to attend.
