Indigenous Human Services

The Indigenous Human Services program combines a discipline-specific human services course of study with Iñupiaq language and culture courses to prepare graduates for entry-level positions with local health care agencies.While the program was primarily designed to meet regional needs in cultural context, students from other regions should consult their advisor, as some of the Iñupiaq course work may be substituted with other indigenous language/culture course work relevant to the student’s background. This degree provides a foundation for careers in counseling, social work, and psychology.
