Human Services

How Our Degree Works

The Human Services program is flexible, giving you the opportunity to specialize in areas of particular interest to you, and works well for students wishing to pursue their education beyond an associate’s degree. In addition, our certificate in Substance Abuse Services may be embedded directly into the program for a more focused degree. Human Services is a popular program available both online and at all CCV locations. Finally, a required field experience course allows you to work directly with an agency or organization delivering services.

Career Opportunities

As a human services professional, you’ll be working in an atmosphere of engaged and committed professionals. CCV graduates work for both public and private service institutions, in such positions as community advocate, substance abuse counselor, social worker, case manager, probation officer, vocational and life skills counselor, activities director, personal companion, and child welfare and family services coordinator.
