PGCert in Human Services, General

Human services workers who want to understand criminal thinking can take this brief graduate credential, delivered online. A forensic studies institute has approved it, and the work centers on assessments that are grounded in evidence and are not clinical. Students take five courses on psychopathology, violence, assessing risk, trauma and special populations, plus classes on research in human services and on intervention strategies. Graduates are equipped to help improve conditions for people involved with the justice and legal systems, as well as for their families. It is possible to keep a job while studying and to complete the credential in a year. The university follows a Christian tradition in the liberal arts and charges no application fee.
