Human Services or Social Work

Human services professionals are involved in programs that meet and protect the individual needs of older people, promote and implement services to aid children and families, administer treatment programs for mental health clients, provide for the confinement and rehabilitation of offenders, and involve the rehabilitation of persons with disabilities and the prevention and treatment of addiction. The AA degree with an emphasis on Human Services/Social Work prepares students to transfer to a four-year institution with Human Services, Social Work, or Chemical Dependency studies. Students will be prepared to enter the academic rigors of upper-level division course work or an entry-level Human Services position. Most Social Work and Human Services positions require the minimum of a bachelor’s degree.
