Program Overview

Through case studies and interactive classroom activities, our Bachelor of Science in Human Services is designed to help you build foundational knowledge in case management techniques, prevention theories and concepts, and human development. You will be given opportunities to develop a better understanding of people’s capacity for growth and change as well as what it takes to advocate for social justice through counseling, ethical decision-making, and crisis intervention.

From assessing client needs to improving service delivery, coursework covers several relevant issues involved in the application of human services, including theories of human development and how to apply them. Coursework also explores interpersonal dynamics, service planning, and more.

What Could I Do with a BS in Human Services?

This program examines how people live and function within society. It offers the learning experiences you could use to build the skills needed to work with individuals, groups, and entire communities in a human-services field. Required internships also provide additional opportunities to apply classroom learnings to situations in the real world, potentially in youth work, court support services, case management, social and community service, and more! Or you could choose to take your education to the next level with a Master of Science in Counseling and Human Services at Post University.

The Bachelor of Science in Human Services degree is not designed to fulfill the educational requirements for any professional credential, such as licenses for clinical psychology or therapy.

Post University assists in researching and providing information regarding licensure; however, each state has different requirements for such licensure outside of the required education. Such state requirements may include licensure exams, background checks, certain work experience, and more. It is ultimately the responsibility of each student to manage their own licensure process and to ensure that all requirements are met in order for the student to obtain licensure. Post University does not speak on behalf of any licensing board or body and does not guarantee licensure. Requirements for licensure are subject to change without notice.
