Social Work/Human Services
Overview
The Folsom Lake College Social Work & Human Services (SWHS) Program is a Career Education program. Our stackable certificates and associate degree prepare students for immediate employment in paraprofessional and associate level careers in social service settings. Students who earn the Human Services Paraprofessional Certificate (18 units) can take additional units in the program to earn the Human Services Specialist Certificate (27 units), and the SWHS General AA (60 units).
Coursework focuses on skill development around core competencies, including interpersonal communication, case notes/writing/documentation, critical thinking, professional identity development, ethical and professional behavior, advocacy and social justice, cultural humility, and culturally responsive practice. Through our capstone practicum courses (SWHS 366 & 367), this academic program also provides students with a unique opportunity to apply what they are learning in the classroom to practice through volunteer or work experience in a community-based social service setting.
The Associate Degree for Transfer in SWHS prepares students for transfer to four-year colleges and universities to continue their social work education. Those interested in transferring should meet with a counselor to select and plan the courses for your major, as transfer institutions vary widely in the courses required for undergraduate preparation.
