Human Services

Human Services is a challenging career field that provides the opportunity for personal satisfaction through helping others.

Often students find their way to the Human Services field through their own personal experiences of being helped. The desire to give back motivates them to pursue a career in the helping professions.

The internship segment of the curriculum is an integral part of the student's learning process as it gives the student an opportunity to experience human services work and apply basic theoretical knowledge and helping skills covered in courses. Internships are available in a wide variety of health, human service and school settings. Please note: Internships are based on availability each semester and it is not guaranteed that every student who is eligible for placement will be placed. The course instructor and the department of Psychology and Human Services reserve the right to deny a student an internship due to a lack of availability of a placement, which could delay the timing of graduation.
