The MS in Human Services requires a prerequisite knowledge and understanding of family relations and lifespan human development. Students that do not have an undergraduate degree in Human Services or Human Services , may have to complete a foundational course(s) in addition to that required of the degree to ensure content knowledge in these topics.
The graduate coordinator will evaluate student transcripts and determine whether courses in lifespan human development, family relations, child development or similar content will be required. Any coursework that is required to meet the prerequisite expectations will be in addition to the 33 hours required for the MS in Human Services. Graduate students completing undergraduate deficiencies must receive a grade of a B or higher in order to remain a degree-seeking graduate student within Human Services.
