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.
