Human Services A.A.S.

The Human Services program educates students to identify problems, work with people in all stages of human development who are experiencing life crises, and intervene and solve problems. Students learn to create and maintain relationships with others, develop means of prevention for individuals and groups, and network with agencies for the provision of services in a rural environment

In pursuit of their desire to 'make a difference,' Finlandia University Human Services students, through theory and practice, become better informed, and more compassionate and self-aware individuals. Students enhance self worth, discover and hone effective communications styles, study the rules people live by, and begin to develop contacts to provide future clients with a link to society.

The Human Services curriculum combines theoretical learning with pragmatic training through the completion of a core of liberal arts classes, extensive degree-specific coursework, and an on-site practicum.
