HS 301 - Human Services Theories

Credits: (3)
This course specifically examines the theoretical underpinnings of Human Services. The course will cover a variety of targeted areas including but not limited to systems theory (e.g., Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory), theories of personality, and communication/exchange theories. Such perspectives emphasize multiple influences on human behavior, from structural to individualistic, and reinforce the empowering nature of work in the field.
