Practical Skills Applied to Life

The Department of Education and Human Services is a large and diverse department offering degrees in everything from paralegal to teaching certification, school counseling, and organizational learning. At the same time, it is small and flexible enough to tailor programs to your specific needs and goals. Students develop solid clinical training, theoretical knowledge, human relations and teaching skills. They learn real skills for real jobs as they study to become teachers, paralegals, administrators in higher education, counselors for children or adults, and specialists in the human resources field. 

Within the Education and Human Services Department there are 29 different degree/certificate options. Our programs are aimed at helping students develop the skills, knowledge, and capabilities needed to effectively work within the human service oriented professions they choose to pursue.

The Education and Human Services Department places students in internships and practica so that they may utilize the knowledge and skills they have acquired through course work and receive feedback from program faculty prior to completion of programs. By requiring this of all of our students we are certain that we are graduating students who will be successful in their fields and in aiding the individuals they encounter in their human services oriented work. What is particularly unique is that our adjunct faculty and many of our full-time faculty members are practitioners in their respective fields.
