Rowan University

The Human Services Direct Care Certificate of Undergraduate Study (C.U.G.S.) will introduce students who are not Human Services majors to both theoretical and practical approaches used by professionals working in a variety of human services agencies. The courses will provide an overview of the skills and perspectives best suited to assisting them in applying their other coursework to real world settings, meeting the needs of employers as they navigate our changing societies. It will also prepare them for positions as diversity trainers, human services providers, managers and staff of human services agencies, and human rights organizations. This credential could readily be applied to professionals already working in the field who wish to advance their careers.
