Advising Notes

  • This degree is designed upon completion to prepare students for entry level employment in human services. Students who complete the first 30 credits should consult an adviser and potentially apply to graduate with a Mental Health, Gerontology, Children’s Behavioral Health, or Youth Worker Certificate on route to earning this degree.
  • Courses are listed in the recommended order you should take them.
  • Many courses have prerequisite requirements that must be fulfilled to be eligible to enroll in the course.
  • If you intend to graduate with an associate degree in two years, you should enroll in 15 credits if taking only fall/spring courses.
  • Taking classes in the winter intersession and summer can accelerate your time to degree completion.
  • Completing 30 credits each year helps students stay on track to timely graduation.
  • All student degree audits for graduation purposes will be based off the official program of study the student is enrolled in.
