HUMS 220 - Field Exp. in Human Services I

Credits: 3
This is a combined field work and field seminar course. Students spend 45 hours as interns in a social service agency in direct contact with agency workers and agency service population, and under the task supervision of a professionally qualified agency employee. They spend an additional 15 hours in seminar. Interviewing and counseling skills learned in earlier program courses are applied in the field setting. Additional skills are acquired in the lecture and integrated into the field setting as the semester progresses. All these skills are reinforced and expanded upon through the production of one process recording or project log per week per student, which are shared and analyzed in the seminar component of the course. Prerequisite: Completion of 21 credits toward the A.S. in Human Services; HUMS120 (Grade of C or Higher); or Permission of Program Coordinator.
