The Behavioral Science accelerated major is a cohort program alternative to the traditional BA/BS for students interested in the M.S. in Human Services or other graduate programs designed for licensure preparation in mental health fields. The program incorporates a full range of "learning skills" needed by all professionals and involves students in assessment processes that lead to quality "integrated" performances that are documented in a program learning outcomes portfolio. The emphasis on activities, assignments, and projects that lead to transferable learning outcomes is a significant educational feature that will prepare students for future opportunities. The foundation knowledge includes major concepts and theories of psychology, sociology, and counseling with emphasis on applications to examples in human services or to personal areas of improvement. Applied experience is an important component that helps students to deepen their reflective understanding of themselves, of diverse populations of clients, and of agencies that provide services. Because selfknowledge is so essential to full understanding of the ethical and relationship aspects of work in the human services, the program includes a formal "life vision" portfolio project in addition to multiple opportunities for reflection on learning and experiences. This program in combination with a course in descriptive statistics fully prepares students for the M.S. in Human Services. growth report that (a) synthesizes learning from the life vision process and (b) demonstrates awareness of substantive relationships between personal characteristics and professional ethics is required for the program learning outcomes portfolio.
