Make a Difference in the Lives of Children, Youth and Families 

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 three 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.

Concentrations:

• Pre-Social Work/Counseling
• Family and Community Services
• Early Childhood Development

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.
