Human Services is not the same as Human Resources, which is also not the same as my own master in Human Relations - they are all different things.

@Sara143, getting the degree is one step of a process towards a goal, what are you using it for? What is it you're trying to get into for a career or future position?  A degree from Amberton is slightly over $10K and it may suit your needs (I'm referring to the one allvia has taken (MS Human Relations & Business), or you can do a competency based option if you can find one similar to what you're looking for.  It depends on the answer to the questions I listed...

The Human Relations & Business is a combo type degree, 9 credits business, the rest are "human services related".

All this, and further, in the context of training "human services" is often used as a general category for social services. An employer asking for a master's in human services will often take Human Services, Psychology, Social Work, Counseling, and others.

Instead of creating a second thread with the same thing, it may be better to answer any questions in this thread and also provide more details... Here's a response I provided yesterday in regards to multiple posts/threads: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid404357

Thanks bjcheung77 ,
Yes human services is working as case manager or social worker social services. I am not interested in counseling and not interested in MSW. MSW is long process. I want to get a degree not more than one year.

For most positions, you don't need a MS Human Services degree to be a case manager in a health or human services role. I suggest the Amberton degree I mentioned earlier or any competency based MS in Psych, Health Administration, or similar. The info below is from the following websites:  "Licensed social workers need an MSW. Case managers tend to have a BSW or a bachelor's degree in a related field."  Link: https://www.bestcolleges.com/social-work...e-manager/

"Unlike social workers, case managers do not provide therapy, though they may give limited counseling to clients. Case managers usually have at least a bachelor's degree in a field such as criminal justice, psychology or sociology, and some may also have a master's degree. There is no requirement that a case manager holds a license, though some may have one or more professional certifications."  Link: https://work.chron.com/difference-betwee...-3394.html

"Case managers need an undergraduate degree in nursing, therapy, social work or a related field. Therefore, while you specifically need a degree in social work to become a social worker, you have the option of various fields of study as a case manager. Though you don't often need a master's degree as a case manager, some employers prefer or require that you have a master's degree in social work."  Link: https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/fin...se-manager

"At the baccalaureate level, the education of a future case manager or social worker could look quite similar. Regardless of which career path you’ve settled on, you can expect to major in a social services field for your bachelor’s degree. It’s not uncommon to find future case managers and social workers majoring in psychology, sociology, social work or behavioral health for their bachelor’s degrees, although most aspiring social workers do major in social work."  Link: https://www.gcu.edu/blog/psychology-coun...difference

Are you in the US? I ask because in some states, the government is very strict about what degree you need to become a case manager or social worker.
