Human Services Degrees

Our Human Services program features curriculum that prepares you for a rewarding, service-oriented career helping individuals and families. You’ll learn and develop valuable skills that can help you move your career forward while being an integral part of change in the lives of others. Earning a Human Services Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree prepares you with the knowledge, skills and attitudes you need to enrich your service abilities and deepen your community impact.

And as you ladder into the Bachelor’s degree, that’s where you can make your impact in roles such as social services manager or community services manager in settings ranging from advocacy organizations, rehabilitation services, public assistance programs, health facilities, nonprofit organizations and government entities. In the human services field, you can help individuals and make a profound impact on the lives of others.
