(6/17/10): Credits from Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College’s new Human Services Associate program will now be applied toward a bachelor’s degree in social work through an exclusive partnership with The College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minn.

This articulation agreement would benefit students who graduate from the Human Services Associate program at WITC and choose to build on their associate degree by pursuing a Social Work bachelor’s degree at CSS.

“We are very excited to provide this opportunity for students completing the Human Services Associate program to continue their education,” said Cindy King, director of curriculum at WITC.

WITC’s Human Services Associate degree program provides graduates with the professional and ethical standards, knowledge and skills needed to work effectively within the Human Services field in areas such as counseling, outreach and community services, child and family services, substance abuse and elder services.

WITC Divisional Dean, Family and Consumer Services, Laura Wassenaar explains, “Students benefit from having an array of educational pathways to pursue, based on their personal and professional goals. This high-quality, cost-effective partnership provides yet one more potential route for students to take.”
