The A.A.S. in Human Services is a terminal, career-oriented sixty-credit degree intended for students seeking employment after graduation. The Council for Standards in Human Service Education has indicated that an associate degree in Human Services makes students especially employable in many settings such as homeless shelters, intake and referral agencies, nursing homes, community centers and similar agencies. Feedback from fieldwork site supervisors and agency directors, as well as our own knowledge of the field, has confirmed this to be true. Moreover,
two semesters of human service fieldwork and training in Case Management give students the opportunity to gain experience that makes them attractive to employers.
