HUMAN SERVICES MINOR (Department of<br />

Counseling)<br />

Total: 18<br />

Description. The field of Human Service is broadly defined, uniquely<br />

approaching the objective of meeting human needs through an<br />

interdisciplinary knowledge base, focusing on prevention as well as<br />

remediation of problems, and maintaining a commitment to<br />

improving overall quality of life of service populations. Combining<br />

social work, counseling, psychology, sociology, and education, the<br />

field requires professionals to perform a variety of helping roles<br />

within the social service arena while maintaining a respect for<br />

diversity and knowledge of multicultural perspectives.<br />

The Human Service minor represents a concentrated program of<br />

study, with courses designed to develop an understanding of the basic<br />

tenets of the Human Service profession. They are intended to help<br />

students develop a better understanding of the challenges facing<br />

diverse and underserved populations in society whom traditionally<br />

seek services from public, non-profit, and private Human Service<br />

agencies.<br />

Rationale. The courses are designed to help students acquire basic<br />

competencies, such as communication and professional helping<br />

skills, knowledge of counseling and Human Service theory, and a<br />

general awareness of the impact of race, ethnicity, gender, family,<br />

spirituality, government, education, and social systems on human<br />

growth and development in our society. Students will learn to assist<br />

others in a number of Human Service capacities including, problem<br />

resolution and prevention, advocacy, community resource<br />

management, and individual and community intervention. Students<br />

will develop an understanding of the history, philosophy, and<br />

methodology of the Human Service profession in our society.<br />
