Programs in the College of Human Science and Services are designed to enhance human potential. We are a people-oriented college that focuses on the resources needed to help individuals and groups solve contemporary human problems. We prepare you in four basic areas: teacher education, health-related fields, human services, and fashion design and merchandising.
If you plan to have an internship while in college, to study abroad, to work with children, adolescents, families or older adults, or to delve into health related fields such as kinesiology or physical therapy or speech pathology, you should explore the opportunities available in the College of Human Science and Services.
