This course is the capstone to the human services degree. It is designed to provide human services students with a capstone experience in a community with the opportunity to expand and refine their soft skills and integrate previous learning in the human services degree program. Each enrolled student will complete a community assessment which will include but will not be limited to determining the strengths of the chosen community; the challenges of the community; government structure of the community; the power structures within the community; the economic health of the community; and the well-being of the vulnerable populations in the community. Their assessment will be accomplished by research, interviews, and observations in the community. This course offers the students the continued opportunity to integrate classroom learning with hands-on experience. Students also participate in a one hour weekly seminar class conducted by a human services faculty member to facilitate the integration of course content and to address capstone progress and problems. Prerequisite: Completion of HUS 201-Introduction to Helping Skills and HUS 240-Human Services Field Practicum 1 all with grade C. 3 cr. 1 Lec. 6 Lab.
