As the new millennium began, the impact of a previous
decade of unprecedented changes in public health and
human services policy was under way. According the American
Public Human Services Association, federal reforms in
the 1990s provided greater authority to states. In turn,
state administrators created new partnerships with local
governments, community- and faith-based organizations
and the private sector to design and deliver human services.
Human services practitioners also face an increasingly
diverse clientele, as delivery systems and client populations
become more multicultural and include a broader range
of complex issues.
The degree in Human Services will prepare you to serve
at the forefront of the design and delivery of cutting-edge
public services. It will prepare you to excel within
a diverse service delivery system, and equip you with
action-oriented research skills and context-sensitive
knowledge for application within unique practice environments.
