Bachelor of Science in Human Services
The Human Services degree is for people interested in working with or helping others (e.g., the homeless, people with disabilities, children or adolescents) in community organizations (e.g., halfway houses, non-profit or non-governmental organizations, social services or mental health agencies.) Human services workers may organize and lead group activities, assist clients in need of counseling or crisis intervention, help clients become involved in their own well-being, assist adults who need supervision with personal hygiene and daily living skills or administer a food bank or emergency fuel program.
An individual with a degree in human services may obtain employment as a case management aide, social work assistant, community support worker, mental health aide, community outreach worker, life skill counselor or gerontology aide. They usually work with individuals from a variety of fields, such as nursing, psychiatry, psychology, rehabilitative or physical therapy or social work.
