    National Accreditation

    The Human Services Delivery & Administration (HSDA) program at UNG is accredited by the Council for Standards in Human Services Education.

    About the HSDA Program

    The HSDA program prepares students with the knowledge and skills necessary to serve individuals, families, groups, and communities, and to support human services functions.

    According to the National Organization for Human Services, this career field is broadly defined as, “uniquely approaching the objective of meeting human needs through an interdisciplinary knowledge base, focusing on prevention as well as remediation of problems, and maintaining a commitment to improving the overall quality of life of service populations. The Human Services profession is one which 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.

    Human Services are generally classified into four service categories:

    • Information or advising services such as libraries, museums and hotlines
    • Maintenance services such as civil service and public welfare programs
    • Personal services such as counseling
    • Protection services such as public health, criminal justice, and social services
