The Lindenwood University School of Human Services prepares graduates for employment in the human services professions of criminal justice, social work, nonprofit administration and Christian ministry. At the undergraduate level, a Bachelor of Arts or Science in Criminal Justice, Bachelor of Arts in Social Work, Nonprofit Administration or Christian Ministry Studies can be awarded.
Graduate programs include a Master of Arts in Nonprofit Administration. The School of Human Services also includes Military Science, which enables students to earn appointments as commissioned officers in the United States Army. Full scholarships can be obtained by taking the Army ROTC advanced courses.
At the core of the School of Human Services degree curriculum is service learning that integrates theory and research of our fields with the practice application in the community. Throughout the curriculum, students are involved in community service projects, internships and opportunities to interact in the human services professions. Service learning includes Nonprofit Administration students hosting annual blood drives for the American Red Cross, Social Work students adopting families in need every Christmas, Christian Ministry students volunteering at summer camps and Criminal Justice students enrolling in the police academy. Special opportunities for cross-cultural study in Criminal Justice have been offered through a low-cost trip over J-term to Europe and Africa.
All of these degree programs offer rewarding hands-on internships in community agencies and organizations. Many of our School graduates have been hired as a result of these experiences. Employers report that they are highly satisfied with LU graduates and see them as being prepared to work with people to meet a variety of human needs. Our graduates appreciate the individualized guidance and knowledge shared from a faculty with years of experience in their field.
