Service Program prepares undergraduate students to become human service professionals with a broad and deep understanding of human behavior, society, and social justice from both a psychological and sociological perspective. Course work from both Psychology and Sociology complete the curriculum. The knowledge base is enhanced with skill-based courses that provide students with the necessary foundation to serve individuals and communities and advance human rights and social and economic justice. The Human Service Program provides students with the skills and knowledge to enhance the well-being of individuals and families and to help students to be informed about, and engaged in, social policy formation and community empowerment. Human Service graduates address key challenges in our community and region, such as homelessness, economic hardship, and hunger; problems associated with drug use; racial injustice; and family violence. Students in the program have close contact with faculty in a small class format.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.sou.edu\/preview_program.php?catoid=17&amp;poid=5099\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See Course Requirements<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-loz155iu-1cfbd052ad8991ea7a971f20e4860a46\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-loz155iu-1cfbd052ad8991ea7a971f20e4860a46{\npadding-bottom:20px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-loz155iu-1cfbd052ad8991ea7a971f20e4860a46 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-loz155iu-1cfbd052ad8991ea7a971f20e4860a46 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:24px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-loz155iu-1cfbd052ad8991ea7a971f20e4860a46 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-loz155iu-1cfbd052ad8991ea7a971f20e4860a46 av-special-heading-h3  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  right-pillow'><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Degree Fit<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-loz15m2h-d66da811e3fd174b50ec2bca5ce0f783 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock right-pillow'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4>Program Distinction<\/h4>\n<p>SOU\u2019s small class sizes and friendly learning environment foster close ties among students, faculty, and the community.

Most students complete their upper-division Human Service coursework during their junior and senior years. This includes a guided practicum of 270 hours.<\/p>\n<h4>Capstone<\/h4>\n<p>Human Service majors complete a senior capstone project, which integrates and applies the skills and knowledge acquired in the human service coursework and the practicum. Students develop a social service program encompassing needs assessment, program rationale, objectives, methods, activities, and a plan for program
