This program is designed to prepare students for transfer into baccalaureate programs in social work, human services, counseling, psychology, early care and education, and other related fields. While providing a foundation of knowledge in human services, students will choose electives that match their career goals in fields such as mental health; early care and education; gerontology; alcohol and chemical dependency; and developmental, cognitive, and physical disabilities and rehabilitation services. Students will prepare for transfer and employment by completing a one-semester internship and additional liberal arts and sciences electives.
