The Human Services Study Sequence Minor provides the two-year student with the opportunity to prepare for work with social service organizations which address issues/problems related to difficulties people experience within our society. Such issues include substance abuse, family violence, unemployment, poverty, and how these issues affect individuals across the life span. Graduates of this program will meet the requirements for provisional certification for the Mental Health Rehabilitation Technician (MHRT/Community) certification, a certification required by many social service organizations for employment. This program not only helps prepare students for employment, it also provides a solid basis for transition into the four-year baccalaureate program in Behavioral Science.
