Human Services is a career-oriented program that prepares students to become professional helpers. It is designed for those who want to bring about change and make a difference in the lives of others and in their communities. Human Services graduates can often find entry-level work in behavioral health and social services agencies.
Internships in the Human Services program provide community work experience for academic credit. These offer students the opportunity to develop skills that are useful in the job market. Students may be offered paid internships or jobs after completing their initial internships. Program concentrations give students maximum flexibility and an opportunity to specialize in a particular area of human services.
