Associate of Science Human Services Emphasis

Associate Degree | Department

The Associate of Science degree with an emphasis in human services is for students who intend to transfer and earn a Bachelor's degree from a four-year college or university. The curriculum will lead to an Associate of Science degree upon completion from Southwestern and will satisfy the lower-division requirements of transfer institutions. Students may petition for adjustments in the AS with an emphasis in human services at Southwestern if course requirements for the first two years of any accredited four-year institution offering a degree in social sciences, human services or social work are met.

The AS Human Services degree at Southwestern also meets all requirements for the AA/OT, so no additional courses outside of the AS Human Services need to be taken in order for a student to meet both degree requirements. When applying for graduation at Southwestern two separate applications must be submitted for the AS Human Services and the Associate of Art Oregon Transfer (AA/OT).
