Description

In this Human Services Capstone course students will learn how to understand, analyze, and influence human services policies. Students will take an ecological approach to understand the interplay between policy and practice in governmental and human services organizations at the local, state, and federal levels. Building on cumulative knowledge, skills, and internship experience, students will design and present a capstone project. This project may include issue identification, research, an intervention strategy, and a proposal to bring about positive change in the identified human services area.
