Description
The Human Services Studies Program offers transfer students a "cutting edge" program of study leading to the B.A. or B.S. degree. Career opportunities abound in the field of human services. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, one of the most significant areas of employment growth in the next decade or so will be human service occupations. The degree programs combine a broad liberal education in the social and behavioral sciences which builds upon prior professional educational experiences and prepares students for employment in human services or graduate study in related fields. The programs meet the needs of two-year college graduates with the A.A., A.A.S. degree in human services who are looking for an advance degree that will provide them with marketability in a field which will continue to grow.
