Human Services: Generalist
Bachelor of Science
The Generalist concentration provides an overview of human services with the
opportunity to learn in all three concentrations. The curriculum addresses issues related
to mental health practice, the social services system and the criminal justice system.
Students choose from a combination of courses within the Human Services curriculum
providing the student with a base knowledge about the systems and services.
Goals:
• Provide students with an understanding of the human services system;

• Prepare students for professional human services environments.
Special Features:
Two internships (160 hours each) in a human services setting are based on students‘
interests, experience and academic preparation. Each student meets with the program
director to discuss internship placements. The student is interviewed at the potential
internship site before the final placement is determined.
