The Human Services Program is an applied program offering a theoretical orientation and basic fundamental skills approach which addresses pertinent issues facing multigenerational, culturally diverse populations.  The purpose is to develop students with an awareness, knowledge base, and skill level to address prevention, intervention, recovery, and maintenance relative to issues of the individual, family, and community, and to prepare graduates for entry-level positions reflecting field-based and classroom experiences.  The program promotes individual growth and development of the total person, lays a foundation of lifelong learning, supports the importance of human relationships, and instills the motivation to strive towards excellence through its multidisciplinary curriculum, close faculty-student mentoring, and best practices in meeting the needs of diverse populations served.
