Human Services (MSE)
Gain insights to help in your field of practice
As a UD Human Services student, you'll gain knowledge and insight into the practice of human services and counseling techniques. This 30-hour master's degree program is appropriate for people in the clergy, nursing, criminal justice and other related fields.
On its own, the program does not lead to obtaining Ohio's Professional Counseling (PC) or Professional Clinical Counseling (PCC) licenses. Many of our students simply wish to gain insight to help in their own fields of practice.
Students who intend to obtain either a State of Ohio Professional Counseling (PC) or Professional Clinical Counseling (PCC) license can enroll in UD's Clinical Mental Health Counseling (MSE) program >>
