Attending 宾州州立大学阿宾顿分校 and majoring in Rehabilitation and Human Service positively impacted my college career. The different courses touch on different aspects of RHS, to help students build skills for the fields they want to enter. They all have one goal: to help students to become professionals for the respective populations they hope to serve, with the proper 工具 and education. To acquire knowledge and apply the knowledge, and gain the skills to improve on that knowledge. The professors are experts and have diverse perspectives in the classroom. They bring outside experience to the classroom beyond the textbook. What always touched me was the personal experience and transparency professors brought as well! 事实上, two of the professors in the RHS department served as mentors for me during the last semester of my college career. 的知识, 一套技能, 工具, and education helped me to see the field within RHS that would be the best fit for me. It helped me to have a more concrete view of my personal and professional development goals.
The education I received was eye-opening! From 学习ing about disability culture to chronic conditions to 心理健康 assessments, 制定治疗计划, to 学习ing about chemical dependency and counseling. The Human Services field is vast and ever成长ing, with so many different pathways to choose from. It is not one-size-fits-all. Students choose careers in family services, 职业治疗, 物理治疗, 行为 health technician, 心理健康, and 药物滥用 to name a few. I was able to graduate with my RHS degree and earn the Chemical Dependency Prevention and Counseling Certificate. With my RHS degree, I've chosen the path of family and child social work. 研究生院, I hope to serve populations in need of mental, 行为, and psychosocial support services. That is how dynamic and multi-faceted RHS is for students to explore, 成长, 学习, and become even more skilled in their different areas of interest.

Attending Penn State and graduating with a Rehabilitation and Human Services Degree opened so many doors for my future. Throughout my college career I was introduced to some of the most down to earth and intelligent professors. The passion they have for this field shaped me to become the employee I am today.
This degree teaches you every aspect of the field, where you feel comfortable going into multiple different fields once you graduate. The professors help you to work with all sectors of the vulnerable populations, such as those with 心理健康 issues, 行为问题, 运动技能问题, 药物滥用, 人口老龄化, 年轻的, 残疾人士, 学习障碍. 这样的例子不胜枚举.

Coming to PSU 阿宾顿 and finding the RHS program changed my life. It equipped me with the 工具 I needed to work my way up in the field with practical application that I could take right to work with me and use in real time. 作为一名执业临床医生, I feel comfortable to say this major is taught by expert level clinicians with diverse experience in the field.
Using what I've 学习ed in RHS, I've earned three promotions in the past year. I am now a full counselor at a non-profit co-occurring drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. After graduating from Penn State with a degree in Rehabilitation and Human Services I know I can achieve anything in this field.
