Description: The Human Services program is designed with a strong focus on human behaviors, social policy, social programs, communication, record keeping, interviewing, observing, group processes and problem solving. An important aspect of the program is student involvement with community agencies which include observations and hands-on experience.
The program prepares students who want to become social workers or phychologists. These students will transfer to four-year colleges and universities. Our advisors help students select courses to meet the requirements of the schools they plan to attend.
The program also prepares students for a variety of entry-level positions in income maintenance, youth/adolescent group home care or crisis hotlines.
