Human Social Services


Human social services (HSS) at Wisconsin Lutheran College combines the strengths and perspectives of communication, psychology, and religious studies. This interdisciplinary major provides students with a broad exposure within the liberal arts. Students pursuing a degree in HSS will learn to enhance the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual quality of life for those in need. The HSS major offers content and experiences designed to develop innovative practitioners able to integrate knowledge, theory, practice, research skills, servant leadership and cultural sensitivity within community organizations. Though the HSS major is not equivalent to a bachelors of social work, the student graduating with a HSS major will be prepared to improve accessibility, accountability, and coordination among the multiple professionals and service agencies designed to provide support, education, resources, and/or assistance to diverse populations.

Note:

Four documented semesters of volunteer experience in the field of human services working with diverse populations is recommended and will be strongly encouraged.

A major in Human Social Services consists of at least 63 credits.
