The Human Services Program is an interdisciplinary major housed in the College of Arts & Sciences. Students prepare for a career in one of the areas broadly defined as "the helping professions." Society recognizes the necessity, value and reward of dedicating time and energy to helping people. This is why it is one of the fastest growing professions in the country.
The major in Human Services at Northeastern provides students with skills necessary to engage in lifelong learning. Students learn to think analytically and critically about the world of human services through academic coursework, professional experiences, and experiential involvement.
