The current trend toward comprehensive and unified delivery of human services and the need for workers who can function in a variety of human services situations are reflected in BCCC’s combining classroom instruction and clinical/fieldwork experiences. Thus, students are able to bridge the gap between academic theory and the real world of social services work. Students study an Allied Human Services core in which they receive the special instruction and career foundation courses needed for such fields as social work, mental health therapy, counseling, gerontology, social and behavioral sciences, law enforcement, government service, education, and community and planning. The BCCC course-of-study is designed to be flexible enough to fit each student’s career goals. The Allied Human Services program gives students the foundation to help clients identify resources and benefits that improve their quality of life. Students also earn credits that transfer to university undergraduate degree programs in human service fields.
