SCC Human Services granted national accreditation

Published: 08/03/2017

The Human Services program at St. Charles Community College has been granted national accreditation by the Council for Standards in Human Service Education. CSHSE is the only national organization that accredits human service education programs. The Council is committed to the quality and relevance of human service education by promoting excellence, providing quality assurance and supporting standards of performance and best practices.

The SCC program becomes the only human service program in the state of Missouri – at any degree level – to earn this accreditation.

“This credentialing assists students not only with getting better paying jobs, but also with pursuing additional degrees,” said Sylvia Bane Malta, MSW/QDDP, associate professor and human services chair at SCC.

Students graduating from the SCC program will now be able to apply for the Human Service-Board Certified Professional credential.

St. Charles Community College is a public, comprehensive two-year community college with associate degrees and certificate programs in the arts, business, sciences and career-technical fields. SCC provides workforce training and community-based personal and professional development as well as cultural, recreational and entertainment opportunities. For more information, visit stchas.edu.
