Online Master's Degrees in Human Services

Social and human service professionals held about 352,000 jobs in 2004, and employment in this field is expected to grow much faster than average, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Human services careers include social work, case management, community support and outreach, mental healthcare, counseling, and gerontology, among many others. Unlike a degree in social work, which focuses on just one human service field, a human services degree helps students qualify for a broad range of service careers.

Human services degree programs train students to observe and interview patients or clients, record information, and implement treatments. Coursework teaches basic problem-solving skills, crisis intervention, and case management and referral procedures.

Degree programs also include general education courses in the humanities, sciences, and liberal arts. Human services coursework may include:
  • Group dynamics
  • Developmental psychology
  • Abnormal psychology
  • Research design
  • Ethics and legal issues
Human services offers a range of degree options, including certificate programs, bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, and Ph.D.'s. While no degree can guarantee a particular job or salary, long-term job opportunities should be excellent for applicants with degrees in human services, according to the BLS. Human services employers increasingly seek employees who hold degrees. The BLS predicts higher than average demand for professionals in human services, where salaries average upward of $24,270.
