Human Services

Human Services is a transfer-oriented Associate of Science degree program for students interested in pursuing social work or other counseling fields. The program provides the first two years of a four-year curriculum in social work and other counseling professions.

The course requirements for this program are very general to accommodate the varying requirements of upper division courses required by colleges and universities that grant degrees in this field. The major courses are both theoretical and applied, allowing students the opportunity to explore the nature of human behavior and reach a deeper understanding of self. SUNY Sullivan students are able to transfer as juniors to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in social work.
