Counseling and Human Services, Rehabilitation Services Concentration, BS

The Counseling and Human Services curriculum has expanded to offer a concentration in rehabilitation services to enhance the knowledge and practice for work with persons with disabilities in response to an increasing need for baccalaureate-level professionals in rehabilitation services. Through a concentration in rehabilitation services, students will be prepared to work in state and local agencies that are responsible for the vocational, mental-health, job-development and coaching and related needs of persons with disabilities. Students can also pursue an emphasis on persons with addiction and substance-abuse disabilities. This concentration is for Counseling and Human Services majors.

¹ Includes service-learning component.

²The selection of a First Year Seminar is likely to fulfill requirements both for the First Year Seminar and a General Education Requirement. Thus, the First Year Seminar will not add to the total credits for the semester. Talk with your advisor if you have any questions.

*An approved 3-credit EP Foundation Course (INTD 184: ST: EP Foundations) is usually substituted for the 6 credits encompassing both COMM 100 and C/IL 102 ; thus allowing the total number of credits required for graduation to be 124. However, students still have the option to take COMM 100 and C/IL 102 instead of the EP course, which raises the credits to 127. Consult with your advisor if you have questions.
