For more than 125 years, Springfield College has been committed to its mission of educating the whole person in spirit, mind, and body for leadership in service to others. And for 25 years, the School of Human Services has been offering bachelor’s and master’s degrees in human services. Learn about the bachelor’s degree program on pages 6-7, and master’s degree programs on pages 12-13.


Building upon the mission of the College, the School of Human Services’ mission is to provide broadly accessible higher education in human services for adult learners that embodies the principles of Humanics, community partnership, and academic excellence to achieve social and economic justice.


What is Humanics?


Symbolized by the equilateral triangle in the Springfield College logo, Humanics refers to the ideal of a balanced individual. The ancient Greeks called this concept Humanics, and it is the underlying philosophy of the Springfield College experience. We are dedicated not only to your personal growth and professional development, but also to your desire to serve in leadership roles to effect positive, meaningful change in the lives of others and the communities in which they live.
