Human Services Minor


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs by Degree

The Human Services minor allows students to choose from a variety of core and elective social work courses. This track cannot be used for reduced credit entry into the MSW program. Although students could still be admitted into the Andrews University MSW program, they would be required to complete the full 56-credit requirement for the degree. Although core social work classes taken at the undergraduate level would not need to be repeated, other elective graduate courses must be used to replace those courses in the total credit load. Students will be more prepared for jobs in human service fields.
