SAN DIEGO, Jan. 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- University of the
Rockies, a graduate school owned by Bridgepoint Education (NYSE:
BPI), a provider of postsecondary education services focused on
providing higher access to higher education, has introduced a new
Master's degree in Human Services and is now accepting
applications.
Many different types of human services are delivered by local,
regional and national agencies, as well as by non-profits and
non-governmental organizations. While care providers have a clear
path for training and career actualization, the personnel necessary
for the administration and guidance of these workplaces are still
in demand.
"This new M.A. in Human Services is tailored to those who answer
a calling to help other people in need. Our curriculum will prepare
graduates to compete for managerial and leadership positions in
human services agencies," said Dr. Stephen
Kirkpatrick, dean of the School of Organizational Leadership
and vice president for Publishing at University of the Rockies.
"The program design targets both academic preparation and practical
application in the human services workplace."
Designed to prepare students for careers overseeing the function
of human services operations in government, non-profit and private
sectors, the Master of Arts in Human Services also has two specific
tracks within the degree, offering specializations in Mental Health
Administration and Not-for-Profit Management.
University of the Rockies' Master of Arts in Human Services is
available online and at the Colorado
Springs, Colo. campus. This degree does not lead to
licensure or certification of any kind.
