Human Services Delivery and Administration (B.S.)

The Human Services Delivery and Administration (B.S.) prepares students with the knowledge and skills necessary to serve individuals, families, groups, and communities, and to manage human services functions. 

Our program is nationally accredited in the field of human services. Students can earn national certification as human services professionals through taking the Board-Certified Human Services Professional (BC-HSP) Exam during their final semester of course work. 

Human Services Delivery and Administration (HSDA) promotes improved service delivery systems by addressing not only the quality of direct services, but also by seeking to improve accessibility, accountability, and coordination among professionals and agencies in service delivery. 

In our program, you will acquire theoretical and applied knowledge and hands on experience through field practicum. You will:

• Gain knowledge and theory of human systems in a variety of settings and interactions.  
• Understand conditions that promote or limit human functioning
  • Address limitations through accommodations for those conditions that limit human functioning
• Gain knowledge and skill training in systematic analysis of service needs; selection of appropriate strategies, services, or interventions; and evaluation of outcomes 
• Gain knowledge and skills in information management and administrative aspects of the delivery system
• Feel confident as human services professionals as quality supervised field experiences have enabled them to experience the work environment and understand professional work and expectations 

The HSDA program has a flexible curriculum and can accommodate students who discover the program later in their studies. In many cases, previous course work can be used in an HSDA plan of study.
