This program is designed for students interested in the helping professions. Academic and skills-oriented classes, agency visits, and supervised work experiences prepare students for employment in a variety of settings, or for continuing their education in four-year colleges. Human Services majors may choose one of two tracks: Students selecting the Generalist track design their programs of study according to their areas of interest. While taking a core of foundation courses, students prepare for entry-level work or for later specialization in fields such as social welfare, special education, disabilities, family services, or counseling. Students in the Child Development track prepare to work with young children in their own homes, in day care centers, preschools, or other specialized settings; or for future careers in education, child development and related fields. Courses and internship experiences are designed to help students work toward earning credentials as a child care professional, should they choose to do so. --- LENGTH OF PROGRAM: 64 credits
