Learn Skills to Improve Quality of Life


We place an emphasis on learning to help individuals and families solve problems related to child development, family relations, aging, nutritional planning for individuals and families and family financial management.

You will benefit from one semester of full-time, supervised field work in a human service agency and you will be prepared for graduate study in a related field.
