Program Requirements

Don’t have 45 credits?
Brescia’s Associate in Human Services online degree will help you meet the enrollment requirements.
The Human Services associate degree is the perfect gate to your Social Work studies and current or future career!
Because the program is a “degree completion,” individuals who are not currently in the human services field and are considering a degree in Social Work must have an associate degree or required transferable credits. A minimum of 45 credits need to be transferred to Brescia University before the Social Work degree completion program is initiated.
