Choosing A Human Services Program From Lansing
The subject matter does not change by location: case management, human development, interviewing and documentation, ethics and confidentiality, community resources, and supervised field placement. What changes is how you take it. Ask each college whether the program holds accreditation from the Council for Standards in Human Service Education (CSHSE), how much of the coursework is delivered online, and which components require you on campus. Credit transfer is decided by the receiving institution and genuinely varies, so request a written transfer evaluation before you enroll.
