Human Services Concentration
The Human Services Concentration focuses on the behavioral sciences and mental health theory, through selected courses in psychology, counselor education, criminal justice, communication, business administration, and related disciplines.
Each semester, you will receive registration materials for upcoming classes. The registration deadline is at least 2 weeks before classes begin. Payment or verification of financial aid eligibility is required before registrations can be processed. A partial payment plan is available.
Students officially admitted into the MSE degree program and registered for at least 5 credits per semester are eligible for financial aid. See the
Financial Aid web page. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed; call 608-342-1836 for an application.
Your UW-Platteville tuition and fees includes book rental for many of your classes. Students who are registered and paid will receive textbooks and course materials at the first class meeting. Books must be returned by end of the semester or you will be charged.
As a registered UW-Platteville student, you will be eligible to use Karrmann Library resources and will have access to those resources on-line. Please see the Guide for Off-Campus Users at our web site or chose “Off-Campus Users” from the library home page. Web site:

You may also use the libraries at UW System campuses in your area (UW-Platteville student ID may be required to check out materials).
The courses in the Adult Education emphasis and Human Services concentration (not including the 2-credit Seminar Paper Research) have been approved to meet the 28 credits of mental health theory required for the State of Wisconsin Psychotherapy Provider Certification. The program has been pre-approved by the Wisconsin Certification Board as an accredited program in Alcohol and Drug Counseling. In addition to the credit courses, you will need to independently arrange for your supervised clinical practice experience for either certification. Note that there is an option to take a 42 credit version of the Human Services Concentration for those who may wish to pursue licensure as a professional counselor (a higher level credential than psychotherapy provider).
The sequence of courses outlined below may vary slightly, depending on faculty availability and course enrollments. Each class requires a minimum of 12 - 15 students. If enrollment for a class falls below the minimum, the School of Education reserves the right to cancel the class.
