Bachelor of Science in Human Services

There is a global need for professionals trained to provide critical social services to children, adults and families from diverse backgrounds—counseling, educating, coordinating and advocating for people. Human Services (HS) majors develop the skills necessary to make a difference in the lives of children, adolescents, adults and families. Choosing from one of four concentrations, students can prepare to work in a variety of settings including non-profit organizations, schools, hospitals, community programs, legal aid and advocacy organizations, where they can have a positive impact in fields such as youth development, disabilities, race relations, juvenile justice, substance abuse prevention and domestic violence prevention.HS majors integrate coursework and extensive field experience through internships on campus and in the community. Small, upper level classes encourage students to engage in discussions, group projects, service activities and presentations. And our renowned faculty help students develop a personal and global perspective on helping individuals and families within communities.
