AA/AS in Human Services, General

Human Services combines psychology, sociology and social work in order to assist clients of any age who face unmet basic needs, mental health challenges, abuse, violence or crisis. Both the AS degree and the Certificate of Achievement prepare students to start working right away. The degree adds general education credits that support later transfer toward social work, sociology, criminal justice or psychology. Students complete a community-based internship of 108 hours under joint supervision by participating agencies and college faculty. Each student must locate and secure a placement, and several local agencies offer paid or employer-based opportunities through the internship program.
