Overview

The curriculum of the Human Services Major from University of Massachusetts Boston prepares students for entry-level careers in human services and for further professional development and graduate education in this field. It seeks to provide the theoretical framework for the understanding of individual development and behavior, of family functioning and of the community environment and the interactions among each.

Program goal

The goal of the program is to prepare outstanding human services managers, program developers, and planners. Our graduates are practitioners who understand the core values that guide practice, and who have the technical knowledge and skills needed for human services management, program planning and evaluation.
