Human Services Generalist

Certificate: Public Service
Credit Requirements: 28 Semester Credit Hours

The Human Services Generalist certificate program prepares students for positions working with individuals, families or communities in a number of different settings.  The certificate is designed for students who prefer a more generalized program of study in the Human Services field.  It is also appropriate for those who want to craft a specific area of study using the choice of electives.  This can be achieved by working closely with the Human Services academic advisor.  Field placement assignments exist in mental health, youth services, social services, eldercare, corrections, disabilities, rehabilitation and addictions services. A clear criminal background check by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) is also required for students prior to field placement assignment in HUS 150.  Students may be subject to additional agency screening above and beyond those required by TTC.

Admission into this program requires proof of high school graduation (or GED) and qualifying scores on SAT, ACT or the TTC placement test.

All courses in the Human Services Generalist certificate program can be counted toward the Human Services associate degree.
