Human Services Certificate
The Indiana Wesleyan University Human Services Certificate program affords students the opportunity to acquire specialized knowledge of the field of human services. In addition to an overview of sociology, cultural anthropology, and the psychology of personality, this program provides specific emphasis in current social problems and issues in marriage and family that can be of great benefit to people in business, ministry, health care, community and social services, and many other professions and services. The certificate itself serves as documentation of this accomplishment, as does the transcript notation.
Completion of a certificate program can serve as a signal to prospective employers that you are a person with the drive and determination to excel. Not only will the course of study enhance your knowledge of human services, but earning the certificate also will distinguish you from others in your workplace or employment market. Students completing the Human Services Certificate can acquire a valuable competitive advantage in any career or profession.
