Earn your associate degree online
You will earn the same diploma as our on-campus students
The Human Services program provides students with a common core of course work plus the opportunity through human services electives to study gerontology, early childhood education, social work, substance abuse or other human services areas. The program is flexible, allowing students to transfer credits, if so desired, to a bachelor's degree program.
You can obtain all of the online course requirements through NCCC except for BIO 117 & BIO 117L. Those required courses are not currently offered online at NCCC. You can come to campus to complete the 4 credit requirements or cross register for it through SUNY Online. The following institutions offer this course in the online format and meet our transfer equivalency (Buffalo State, MCC, GCC, & FLCC). You should plan this out with your advisor in the first semester of your program to ensure timely completion of this requirement.
