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.
For students interested in a Certificate of Achievement, a
Human Services: Advocacy certificate is available.
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.
Upon successful completion of this program, the student will be able to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of the human services field and its operational function in relation to client services;
- Examine and perform various human service roles within the profession incorporating counseling skills, ethical principles and sensitivity to diversity;
- Demonstrate ability to use research tools to locate and evaluate information that can be applied to the human services field; and
