We offer major and minor programs in Human Services – covering Clinical Behavior Work, Trauma Studies, and Fire Emergency and Response Administration. We also offer Graduate level opportunities.

The Department of Human Services and Counseling provides a foundation for students to learn how to help address social and economic issues in a community, while gaining knowledge of real world issues, and the tools required to problem-solve in an ever changing landscape of social structures and how people operate within those systems.

The Human Services program is a gateway to a career in social-services, where students learn how to help their community access basic human needs and understand what it means to provide assistance, and access resources for those in need.

The Master of Science in Clinical Behavioral Health program, with an emphasis in Addictions Counseling, prepares students to work in a variety of treatment and recovery settings. Students will integrate research, skill development, education in treatment and recovery, evidence-based practices, and field work in treatment and recovery.

This program meets the educational requirements that one will need to pursue licensure as a Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
