Human Services and Non-Profit Management
Human services is a very broad field that stems from a single concept: helping people. Students who pursue this career pathway are driven by compassion and seek the kind of satisfaction that can only come from helping others. Whether your focus is on literature, history, philosophy, art history, languages, religion, and/or cultural studies, this community provides guidance and support to impact your career journey positively.
This field encompasses many careers, each with its distinct approach, philosophy, and clientele. The first step in determining which path is right for you is to consider who you want to help (minorities, children, women, elderly, military, disabled), the area on which you want to focus (substance abuse, PTSD, physical abuse, disaster relief, poverty, urban, rural), and how you want to help people (mentally, emotionally, physically). Understanding where your passion lies will help you narrow down your career options
