Program Description The Human Services Program is a 2-year program that results in an Associate of Applied Science degree. The Human Services program prepares students to serve people in need through community social service organizations. Students will learn about human behavior and social problems and how individuals interface with systems to address these issues. They'll also learn ways to help people meet their physical, mental, and emotional needs. With a degree in human services, a student may become a chemical dependency professional, youth worker, or mental health aide. They can work with nonprofit groups, schools, prisons, and government agencies. TCC's Human Services Professional program is a competency-based program that prepares students for work as practitioners in social, mental health and addiction service agencies.
