The law and social practice option is geared toward students interested in corrections, juvenile justice and rehabilitation counseling.

The human services certificate program is appropriate for students who are already working in the human services field, or would like to test their interest in the field before committing to a degree program.

The direct support certificate provides knowledge about developmental issues across the lifespan of persons with mild and severe developmental disabilities.
