"The [M.S. in] Human Services Administration program has established a market niche in training administrators in organizational leadership roles, and we add to the cultural diversity of leadership in Maryland.
"In addition, our internship component is an effective gateway into organizations beyond the internship itself. We have approximately 140 organizational partners that students can choose in our Directory of Human Services Agencies contained within our internship packet. Each semester, several students receive job offers from their site supervisors."
