Health and Human Services: Majors Offered
Students can choose from the following Majors:
Counseling Studies*
This concentration provides a gateway for students planning on pursuing graduate study in 猫咪社区’s MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. Students take selected 500-level psychology courses in addition to a 300-level course in Interviewing and Counseling to build knowledge and skills for helping people with psycho-social issues in a variety of contexts.
Health Science
The Health Science concentration is available to those students who choose to continue into the Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) program at 猫咪社区 or elsewhere, but not as an accelerated Pre-Occupational Therapy Studies major. Students with this concentration are admitted to the MOT program if they meet GPA and prerequisite requirements. It is also a suitable concentration for students seeking other types of careers in healthcare settings or those pursuing graduate study in allied health fields other than occupational therapy.
Integrative Health
This concentration option fulfills the requirements for the Integrative Health Certificate. According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, many Americans—more than 30 percent of adults and about 12 percent of children—use healthcare approaches developed outside of mainstream Western, or conventional, medicine. The use of integrative approaches to health and wellness has rapidly grown within care settings across the United States. Researchers are currently exploring the potential benefits of integrative health in a variety of situations, including programs to promote healthy behaviors. Students’ knowledge and skills that are developed within this concentration are suitable for careers in health education and wellness programming as well as healthcare with a comprehensive approach.
Concentrations are a value-added component to the Health and Human Services major and provide specific career preparation in the form of certificates and gateways into select graduate degree programs at 猫咪社区.
