Human Services Minor

The Human Services minor will require the completion of three foundational courses and three additional courses of the student's choice from elective or foundation class options. The program prerequisite/co-requisite requirement of HUS 201 General Psychology may extend the length of time for completion of an HUS minor. 

Required Minor Hours (9 hours)

HUS 300Ethical Issues in the Helping Profession

HUS 304The Human Service Profession

Note that HUS 201 is a prerequisite/co-requisite course; therefore it should be taken as early as possible by students who intended to pursue a Human Services minor. Delay in taking this course may extend the time required to complete the minor.

Electives (9 hours)

Students must earn credit for three additional HUS-prefix courses for a total of nine hours. Internships are not approved for the Human Services minor, so HUS 497 and HUS 498 may not be included in this category.
