Program Description

The bachelor's degree in Human Services builds on foundation courses with additional field placements. The result: you’ll graduate as a professional able to meet the needs of a diverse community. The expansion of the adult day care system, growth in group homes and residential care facilities, and the accommodation for people who are handicapped or mentally ill, emphasizes the need for qualified professionals with a degree in Human Services. You’ll have the skills necessary for jobs in management and leadership and you’ll be prepared for a lifetime of learning.

Monroe’s challenging human services curriculum is heavy on field placements, giving you plenty of opportunities to decide where you want to focus. You’ll also study psychology, ethics, crisis intervention, and behavior.

Internship and practicum opportunities let you put your academic know-how to the test, gauge your interest, and apply your skills. They give potential employers a chance to determine if you’re a good fit.

There may be additional costs by this University.
