The Human Services field is broadly defined and offers diverse employment opportunities. If you have an interest in helping individuals, families, groups, or communities meet their needs, this program offers a rewarding career path. The Human Services profession includes prevention as well as treatment of problems, and maintains a commitment to improve the overall quality of life for those we serve. Improved service delivery is promoted by addressing the quality of services, and by improving accessibility, accountability, and coordination among professionals and agencies.
