The Master of Science program in Human Services Administration is a fully collaborative
joint program between Coppin State College and University of Baltimore.

The 36-credit curriculum prepares students for profeSsional careers in the field of
human services administration in a variety of settings (corporate, governmental, nonprofit
and community). Through 18 credits of required coursework, students will
have the opportunity to develop administrative abilities in the areas of planning, evaluation,
leadership and decision-making. Then, students will individualize their course
ofstudy by choosing 12 credits of coursework in an approved human services content
area such as counseling psychology, entrepreneurship, health care systems, negotiations
