Description:
The Human Services Advocacy Major is an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the skills
needed in human rights advocacy. In today's complex society, social service agencies are required
to provide for the economic and emotional needs of those in difficulty. These agencies have a
need for responsible individuals with some college background to provide various services. The
Human Services Advocacy program prepares students to work in a community setting at an entry
level.
Students interested in a suggested order for taking classes in this program, can view the recommended course sequence. For students interested in a Certificate of Achievement, a

Employment options include working with non-profit agencies as well as local, state and
federal agencies. Examples of these agencies are job training programs, residential settings and
private social service agencies.
