Objectives for the Human Services Program
A major in Human Services leads to a bachelor of science degree. Administered by the Behavioral Sciences Department, this program allows students to develop the knowledge and skills necessary for entering a variety of human service professions.
Description of the Major in Human Services
The Human Services program is competency based. Through their course work, students gain a theoretical and conceptual base, and develop generic helping skills. Students further develop and demonstrate their knowledge and skills within several community settings through course-related practice and an intensive capstone internship experience. These professionally supervised field experiences integrate academic study with practical hands-on, real-world application, and constitute a special characteristic of the Fitchburg State College program. Additionally, they give students a realistic basis for choosing careers while strengthening their ability to compete in the job market. Students are also encouraged to gain additional experiences through volunteer activities.
The Human Services program produces generalists to work with diverse clients in many settings, and prepares students for graduate study. Course work may be designed for students to pursue interests in human services administration, aging and gerontology, criminal justice and/or juvenile justice, family and children’s services, mental health and mental retardation, and other areas.
