About the Program
The field of social work and human services involves the study of society, social interactions, and more specifically, methods to improve the quality of lives for people from different social groups. This degree is designed to meet the rapidly expanding need for health, public and human service/social worker professionals in the state and across the country. The courses in this degree emphasize skills in team-work and collaboration, presentation techniques, critical thinking, and they prepare students to work in entry level social work positions, with various cultural contexts and with diverse populations.
An Associate in 艺术 in 社会工作 and Human Service (AA-T) is intended for students who are interested in transferring to a California State University (CSU) campus for the Baccalaureate Degree in 社会工作 . The program also aligns with various transfer programs for students who wish to continue to an Associate of 艺术 Degree in 文科 with an emphasis in Social and Behavioral Sciences or the Associate Degrees for Transfer in either Psychology or 社会学.
学生 planning to transfer to institutions other than the CSU are encouraged to consult ASSIST.org and an FRC academic advisor for program planning and course selection.
