Bachelor of Science in Human Services

A degree in Human Services is an interdisciplinary degree that provides students with a foundation for a better understanding of how social structures are created and how people operate within those systems. Students are taught how to conceptualize, develop, and implement programs to help address social and economic issues in a community. Students will also learn how to connect with clients in order to help them access services, programs, and skills that address their needs.

Graduates from our program can work in a variety of settings leading group activities, providing counseling or crisis intervention, and administering food banks or community or emergency programs.  Program paths may also include working in treatment and recovery facilities or meeting with adults or adolescents who need help with life-planning strategies and daily-living skills. Human Services professionals provide support to people of various backgrounds, evaluating the needs of their clients and communities to aid in their wellbeing and stability.

With a strong projected job growth, careers in Human Services continue to remain in high demand.  Employment is expected to grow by 17% through 2029 for Human Services professions. This is significantly higher than the average job growth in other sectors.
