| Specializations (12 hours
from list of approved courses)
Students concentrate their remaining learning
by choosing 12 semester hours of approved courses
within human services, communication, gerontology,
management, psychology, sociology, criminal
justice, social work, or non-profit management.
These will be chosen, in consultation with an
advisor, to support the particular human servicees
career directions being pursued by individual
students. At least half of the 48 hour major should
be upper division hours.
Students pursuing a certificate
in non-profit management and those pursuing
licensure as a drug and alcohol counselor have
specific courses required as part of this specialization
and should work closely with their advisor to
assure that the coursework is appropriate. |
