Program Description The field of social work promotes human growth and development through education, public health, human welfare and social justice. Professionals in this field typically connect individuals and families with resources to meet basic needs and improve the quality of life. Professionals who focus on Social Work typically interact directly with clients to carry out social programs, connect them with services, assess their needs and provide counseling. Those who specialize in Human Services take a more administrative or managerial focus aimed at planning programs to serve the needs of a particular population. The Associate in Arts - Direct Transfer Agreement (AA-DTA) is part of Shoreline’s General Transfer program and is designed to meet the first two years of requirements of most four-year degrees.
