Human Services
Would you like to help others solve life problems? Be prepared to work in settings
as diverse as medical, social welfare, incarceration, rehabilitation, or schools?
The LBCC Human Services degree will be a good fit; it prepares students to transfer
into Human Development and Family Sciences, Social Work, and other related bachelor
degree programs.
The field of Human Services is broadly defined, uniquely approaching the objective
of meeting human needs through an interdisciplinary knowledge base, focusing on prevention
as well as remediation of problems, and maintaining a commitment to improving the
overall quality of life of service populations, with a focus on equity and social
justice. With a human services degree you will have the choice of many career paths!
Human Services Practicum
Students who stay in the Human Services major have the opportunity to complete a 90-hour practicum in the field, in which they work to obtain the first five standards of the Human Services profession. This is a personalized experience: as a practicum student, you’ll work one-on-one with LBCC faculty to determine the best placement for you.
Note, in order to enroll in practicum, you’ll need to start preparing about one and a half terms in advance. Talk with your advisor for more information.
