Designing a Comprehensive Human Services Program
The final project for this course is the creation of a comprehensive human services program proposal.,
As the final stop in your journey toward your Bachelor of Arts in Human Services you will complete a capstone that integrates the knowledge and skills you have developed in previous coursework by conducting a community needs assessment that will ultimately inform the creation of a comprehensive human services program proposal designed to meet a specific consumer need in the community.
You will also reflect on your journey through the Human Services program and how you plan to position. Yourself professionally through a third component in the form of a personal and professional reflection. This capstone will be assessed somewhat differently than other courses you have taken online at SNHU. There are three major components: (1) community needs assessment; (2) human services program proposal. And a (3) professional and personal reflections paper. Think of the community needs assessment and human services program proposal as the two parts of one final assessment. Your personal and professional reflection will be a separate document attached to your finalsubmission as an appendix.

The components will be submitted at different times during the course; however, they operate together to comprise the whole capstone experience. They are not assessed separately. You will be evaluated on all three as a unit in determining whether you have demonstrated proficiency in each outcome. Your instructor will guide you through this process, keeping a running narrative of your strengths and areas for growth in relation to the outcomes as you progress through the class. Your work is expected to meet the highest professional standards.
The project is divided into five milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Three, Four, Five, and Six. Components 1, 2, and 3 are due in Module Eight.
