Human-service professionals work in private and public agencies providing direct services to individuals and communities and to groups with special needs, such as children, families, the elderly and the handicapped. Human-service workers are active in a variety of fields including child chare, community organization, counseling, activities therapy, advocacy, health care, social work and emergency services.In addition to understanding research and developing statistical literacy, students are encouraged to clarify values which will contribute to their own personal growth and assist them in applying empirical methods in a manner appropriate to the fulfillment of client and consumers' human needs and potential. Students also develop skills important in human services in areas such as policy management, research skills, information management, administrative, prevention and intervention and interpersonal skills.

Great!
November 19, 2011
I'm enrolled for the Spring 2012 Semester and every single aspect of ESC I've been a part of so far has been wonderful. I really think the people with the horrible reviews must fall into these categorizes: 1. Looking for hand holding (either they've been out of school too long and are just uncomfortable or are right out of high school and have no idea what they are doing.) 2. Professionals going back to school ...
Run, Don't Walk, To the Nearest Exit

I have three degrees, and work as a financial controller running companies for a living. I did not initially obtain an MBA because this was not initially required in my field, but now is standard. I was told that the Empire MBA would allow me to sit for the CPA exam. Oddly, the MBA program contains virtually no accounting courses. Upon entering into a self study program for the CPA exam, I quickly found I ...
TERRRRRRRRIBLE SCHOOL!!
March 29, 2011
This school is terrible, as is the faculty and staff. And before I'm completely discredited, I have a 4.0 gpa here. I have heard several potential employers -- administrators in public school districts -- talking about how they would, and I quote, "Never hire someone from SUNY Empire." Stupid me, I thought all teacher prep programs were relatively the same, and respected as such. Not the case -- if you are considering going here for ...
Not a SUNY education
June 18, 2010
Let me preface this by saying that I had a 4.0 GPA at Empire State when I recently withdrew (more than halfway through my degree), because I think readers might tend to suspect that negative comments come from disgruntled underperformers. I personally know four other 3.5+ students - including the person who originally encouraged me to enroll at ESC - who have also withdrawn from the school within the last six months for the reasons ...
A really good SUNY School
April 17, 2008
I am graduating this June 2008 and I have to say that my experience at SUNY ESC has been an enjoyable one for the most part- aside from the writing three 15 page+ research papers, but hey, this is college and this is the kind of work that is expected of a senior getting their bachelor's degree. Like every college, there will of course be problems with professors, administration, and grading-this is to be expected, ...
Best Online School Worldwide

I have just completed my BS in Community and Human Services with SUNY/ESC. What the first reviewer left out was probably the most important factor pursing a degree in ESC; it is a State University of New York degree. Not as valuable as a SUNY Cornell degree, but valuable nonetheless. It is true, as in every college, you have some okay professors, some schmucks, or diamonds in the rough. One would be in criminal justice ...
