The Human Services online program is designed for students who are interested in working in human service agencies and community organizations, or who wish to advance their education through higher education in psychology, teaching, counseling, social work, or law.

Graduates work in community health centers, drug treatment facilities, organizations for the aging, social service, welfare agencies, or mental health organizations.
