Students may complete an A.S. in Human Services in preparation for transferring to Oregon State University. The Human Services option is ideal for entry-level work in public or private human services. Positions include youth worker, caseworker, information and referral specialist, family advocate, volunteer coordinator, and others. This option also prepares students to attend graduate school in Human Development and Family Sciences, counseling, marriage and family therapy, social work, or other professions. This curriculum allows maximum flexibility for students to tailor their elective courses to populations or ages of particular interest.

The AS degree is designed to be completed in two years, but this assumes that the entering student has basic skills in writing and math.
