Associate of Science - Human Services

Our Human Services degrees develop practitioners who are educated, ethical thinkers who can apply their knowledge to serving others in various aspects of society. Human services professionals work with both children and adults who are undergoing crisis or chronic situations. They are needed in a variety of settings, such as social service agencies, mental health and substance abuse treatment facilities, domestic abuse shelters, community centres, and more.

The Associate Degree in Human Services prepares students for entry level positions in this rewarding field. Students in the Associate program receive real-world experience by completing a supervised field placement. The Bachelor’s degree in Human Services builds on this with an additional field placement, giving students even more hands-on experience in the field. Bachelor’s students graduate with the knowledge and skills necessary to seek employment in a variety of management and leadership. Graduates of both programs are professionals who can meet the needs of diverse communities with integrity and sensitivity, and are prepared for further education and lifetime learning.
