Human Services Concentration Overview

The human services concentration within the Sociology-Anthropology major combines liberal arts study in the Sociology-Anthropology major with a curricular focus on social problems and social policy for students planning careers in human and helping services. Students will learn, through both intellectual engagement and field experience, to understand and effectively interact with individuals, communities, and public and private agencies confronting social challenges such as poverty, displacement, discrimination, crime, disability, interpersonal violence, and substance abuse.

The human services concentration prepares students for employment and graduate study opportunities in a variety of human services occupations and areas, such as: social work; elder care; guidance and school counseling; marriage and family counseling; child protective services; elder protective services; services to developmentally disabled persons; domestic violence and sexual assault victim services; the criminal justice system, including law enforcement; public policy analysis; and community activism and development.
