The 16-credit Certificate Program in Community-Based Human Services is designed for juniors or seniors who plan to complete an Arts and Science major without a professional major or for students with a professional major, in consultation with their advisor. The program allows students to explore new professional directions that might lead to employment after graduation or to continued studies in graduate school. It consists of an Introductory course (CFS 340 Introduction to Community-Based Human Services), a practicum and seminar in human services (CFP 420 Practicum and Seminar in Human Services), and an additional 8 credits of selective courses. Courses used as selectives for this program may not count toward other degree requirements.
