This summer I was working on creating a comprehensive curriculum that includes all the possible courses from human service certificate to MSW degree. I have looked at many courses that universities around the world offer and created a multiple certificate, diploma and degree plans to cover key areas of human service and social work. If anyone will be interested in testing any of the below-mentioned courses for online delivery please let me know as I have developed all the course outlines thanks to my extensive teaching experience in family social sciences, human services, and social work. If you have any suggestions or new specialization that I can add please let me know. My goal is to ensure that every possible aspect of human service and social work is covered.
Human Service Certificate Semester 1 and 2 Field 100 hours (first year)
Human Service Diploma Semester 1, 2, 3 and 4 Field 200 hours (second year)
