Human Services is a field centered on meeting the everyday needs of a community, which extends to the wellness of individuals and families. This Bachelor of Science is offered through Drury GO.
Coursework covers counseling, diversity, how people develop over a lifetime, the way relationships and groups work, and assorted approaches to helping others. A statistics course for the behavioral sciences and a senior capstone are part of the plan, and students are advised to finish their lower-level requirements before reaching junior standing.
Stated outcomes include understanding key concepts and research in the behavioral sciences, applying critical thinking to problems, acting ethically in diverse settings, communicating clearly in writing and speech, and building career readiness through teamwork and project management.
Graduates often work as social workers, counselors in mental health, case workers, service assistants or public administrators, although many of these paths call for further training or certification.
