Introduction
The human services specialization allows students the flexibility of moving into transfer programs into psychology, social work, human services, sociology and other fields. Occupational titles, depending on educational achievement, of human service workers may include Case Worker, Case Management Aide, Eligibility Counselor, Social Service Aide, Probation Officer, Mental Health Counselor or Crisis Intervention Manager.
The program offers a 135-hour, 3-credit human services capstone course, HMS 290 Coordinated Internship, that is designed to provide students opportunities to practice, apply, and explore values, knowledge, and skills learned in their coursework to a public or private human services agency, under the guidance of experienced practitioners who serve as placement supervisors.
