The Bachelor of Science in Human Services Management is designed for those students who want to acquire the management skills necessary for use in the human services industry, whether not-for-profit or for-profit. Students learn wide-ranging, but detailed concepts that include ethical and legal issues, communications, finance and budgeting, fundraising and community resource development. The overarching theme in each course, however, is application of these concepts into the overall management of the human services organization.
The curriculum is structured sequentially with students taking one course at a time in a designated sequence. Upon completion of the entire course sequence, students complete a Capstone Course focused on human services strategies. During the Capstone Course, students complete a major paper and an oral presentation which demonstrates the integration of material from previous coursework in the degree program. The paper and presentation are based on a typical challenge or opportunity found in a human services organization.
Students who graduate from the BSHSM program are well prepared to function as supervisors or managers in this growing field, and are positioned to make contributions to their organizations overall success. This program can be taken online or on ground.
