The Associate of Science Degree program in Human Services prepares students to work with individuals who are consumers of the human services delivery system, providing them with direct services and linking them with other community services and resources. Graduates of the Human Services program may be employed in a variety of agencies, which provide supports to individuals and families across the life span. That work may be in the field of developmental disabilities, behavioral health, elderly or children and families at risk.

Some human services positions require education beyond an associate degree. This program has articulation agreements with New England College and Franklin Pierce. Human Service graduates have also successfully tranferred to other area colleges.

The College offers Certificate Programs in Human Services or Early Intervention/Family Support Assistant, providing students with the major courses required for beginning level positions, as well as providing them with an entry point for the continuation of studies. All Certificate courses have been incorporated into the Human Services Degree Program.

Many of the programs offered at NHCTC may be combined with the Human Services program for a dual degree option.

The applicant for the Human Services program should meet the general requirements for admission to the College. A Criminal Background Check is the responsibility of students and may be required for fieldwork and/or employment upon request of an agency. Students are required to have liability and health insurance prior to being placed for fieldwork. Transportation to all fieldwork assignments in the responsibility of the student. A minimum of 96 hours will be completed for each fieldwork course.
