Human & Community Services is an interdisciplinary major that help students develop a deeper understanding and perspective of factors that influence individuals and groups served in the community.  Students study populations in diverse settings such as group homes; community mental health centers, correctional facilities, child and adolescent service agencies; and alcoholism, drug abuse, family violence, and aging programs.  Emphasis is placed on understanding, prevention, and remediation of problems experienced by population served in these settings.

This program will prepare students for work in community-based agencies in professional and paraprofessional positions.  According to the National Organization of Human Service Educators (NOHSE), employment opportunities in social service facilities are excellent and projected to grow rapidly.  Students enrolled in the Human & Community Services program at Queens University of Charlotte will participate in field experiences and a professional internship.  This essential component of the major will enable students to make a strong connection between theory and practice, as well as study and work.
