The curriculum in the Bachelor of Science degree in Human Services is designed to prepare working professionals for positions in both profit and non-profit employment. Positions in the health and human services fields are varied and diverse, and have expanded in scope for the providers due to recent federal and state legislation. Employees in Human Services often work in mental health organizations, law enforcement, health-care facilities, employee relations departments, and in government or community advocacy programs. Most classes in NDNU's Human Services program are offered one-night-a-week, seven-week format allowing students to complete their upper division classes at an accelerated pace. Students also have the option of choosing a concentration in counseling or administration.
See the NDNU General Catalog for program requirements and course descriptions.
Articulated Program in Human Services
The Undergraduate Human Services Degree offers special articulated programs with Graduate Psychology and Gerontology and the Graduate MPA and MBA programs. Articulated programs allow students in their last semester of undergraduate work to study for a master’s degree while completing the bachelor’s degree. Undergraduate students in articulated programs are allowed to enroll in six units in selected graduate courses that fulfill undergraduate major requirements while also counting towards the master’s degree.
