Do you have a passion for helping people?
The AS degree in Human Services is designed to prepare graduates for employment in direct-care human service positions. In addition to the Riverland core curriculum, internship experiences are an effective way to develop helping skills for interaction with people in treatment and support programs. New students are advised to schedule a meeting with the program coordinator, especially transfer students.
Further Education: Students who choose to pursue a four-year degree can also complete Associate in Arts degree requirements with additional course work. Students should work closely with the program coordinator and the counseling department to make sure that course work fulfills degree requirements.
Employment Outlook
Graduates can choose from jobs in a variety of settings such as group homes, treatment centers, halfway houses, foster care, early childhood and other programs to help children, youth and adults with special needs.
