Cert in Human Services, General

The Social Services certificate is for students who already work in social services or want to enter the field. It is a short program of five courses that gives an overview of the field and equips students with the skills to begin working in it. Courses run in the daytime and evening, and all of them apply toward the department's associate degree in arts. Students must complete every course with a grade of C or better, and many courses have prerequisites, corequisites or testing. The certificate is available at the Knight campus in Warwick or the Liston campus in Providence. Prospective students should review the full catalog entry for the complete course list, sequence and any prerequisite requirements before planning their schedule at the Community College of Rhode Island.
