The human services system encompasses a variety of services, including but not limited to, child care, family services, corrections, mental health, gerontology, substance abuse, community services, and community education. The objective of the Department of Human Services is to offer a student the education and training for immediate employment upon graduation in the human services field, and to provide students who complete the Associate in Applied Science or Associate in Arts degree an opportunity to transfer into a baccalaureate program. The field and practicum experiences are designed to provide the opportunity for the students to explore a variety of options in the human services field. Prior to practicum or field placement, the student must meet the required standards and policies of the affiliate agency. In accordance with affiliate agreements, all human science students are required to purchase professional liability insurance.
Students are responsible for their own health and accident insurance.
A student may be recommended for dismissal for failing grades, cheating, inappropriate behavior or attitude, or unsatisfactory laboratory or practicum performance.
