The primary purpose of a Human Services professional is to assist individuals, families,and communities to function as effectively as possible. Human Services iscurrently one of the fastest growing fields in the United States and abroad. The purpose of the Human Services major is to prepare a student to understand the socioeconomic, psychological and political foundations of a multicultural society and to utilize that knowledge to identify needs and coordinate and provide appropriate social services to help populations in need. The major provides excellent preparation for those wishing to continue their education in graduate school. This major is approved by Wisconsin's Department of Safety and Professional Services for Social Worker Training Certification by taking specified social work equivalency courses. Show More

PLEASE NOTE:

If there are fewer than eight enrollments in the training program, only the "Enrollments" number will be displayed; all other data is hidden in order to help protect the students' identities. The "Employment Outcomes" are calculated using information from Wisconsin's Unemployment Insurance Wage database. Most employers are required to report certain employment information to the State of Wisconsin, including quarterly wage information for their employees. Students whose information could not be verified in this database are excluded from these outcomes. If a "0" shows for any of these outcomes, it means that none of the students' information could be verified.

MAKING SENSE OF THE EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES:

"Average quarterly wages" means the total wages earned in a three-month period by all students who completed the program ("completers"), divided by the total number of completers.

"Median quarterly wages" means all the completers' quarterly wages are placed in order from lowest to highest and then we identify the student's wages in the middle. This information is provided because averages can be greatly influenced by really high and low wage earners.

To estimate monthly wages, divide the quarterly wages by three.
