Human Services

Help change people’s lives for the better

Taught by practicing human services professionals, TCC’s comprehensive human services curriculum includes two hands-on internships. Real world experience working with local agencies will help you build professional networks, establish references, and utilize skills learned in the classroom. Students typically intern under the direction of a professional in human or social services in fields such as outreach, psychiatry, and psychology.
