Human Services is an interdisciplinary study, based primarily on the disciplines of psychology, sociology and anthropology, that prepares students to work as generalists in the field of social services. The human services professional is dedicated to the goal of helping clients become self-sufficient through teaching problem-solving, using case management skills, and using client-centered mental health practices.
Human services majors take 30 hours of core courses for the major and select one of three 15 hour concentrations (mental health, social services, or substance abuse services). Each concentration is designed to help the student focus on a career of service delivery in specific kinds of settings.
