One of Only Three Masters-Level Programs in Nation to Receive This Recognition
New Haven, Conn., Albertus Magnus College is very pleased to announce that its Master of Science in Human Services (MSHS) has obtained full accreditation from the Council for Standards in Human Service Education (CSHSE) Board. This organization is committed to improving the quality, consistency, and relevance of Human Service Education programs and assuring best practices in the field through evidence-based standards and a peer-review accreditation process.
Albertus is one of only three Human Services Masters programs in the country to obtain this
recognition – and the only one on the east coast. The 39-credit MSHS program at Albertus prepares students to pursue rewarding careers in various human and social service settings by gaining advanced professional knowledge and skills to work in leadership positions with a diverse range of clients and populations.
“With courses like Case Management, Counseling Techniques, and Addictions Counseling, our students learn to advocate for individual clients and communities, as well as apply legal and ethical standards to the delivery of Human Services,” said Professor Carol Huckaby, M.A., director of the newly honored program.
“A special thanks goes out to Dr. Ragaa Mazen, who founded the program, for all of her efforts in spearheading this initiative; to Ms. Carol Huckaby for her leadership of the program; as well as to Ms. Cindy O’Brien for her diligence and expertise during the process; and to all the MSHS students and advisory board members for the participation and support,” stated Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty Rosa Rivera-Hainaj, Ph.D.
