Overview
This four-year bachelor's degree from Rocky Mountain College's Human Services department combines Christian faith, social science, and practical field experience, with students able to focus their studies on counselling or child and youth care. Coursework is designed to build understanding of human behaviour and social challenges, and to develop counselling and intervention strategies for real-world settings, using what the department describes as a strengths-based, holistic approach to care. The department states its programs prepare graduates for roles such as counsellors, case workers, youth care specialists, addictions counsellors, and community support workers, working in both faith-based and secular environments. As the department's longest credential, alongside a shorter two-year diploma in the same field, the bachelor's degree suits students seeking a full four-year preparation for helping-profession careers, with capacity to pursue further study or licensure pathways afterward. Rocky Mountain College is located in Calgary, Alberta, and is accredited by the Association of Biblical Higher Education Commission on Accreditation to grant certificates and degrees at the associate and baccalaureate levels.
