This course examines the key concepts of human services management and provides a broad overview of the history, purpose, theory, and current trends in the human services field. Students study various issues that impact the management of human services and gain an understanding of the role of the human services manager. An emphasis is placed on examining social systems, ethics, and skills related to human service delivery to individuals, groups, families, organizations, communities, and society in diverse practice settings.

This integrative course is the culminating experience for the Master of Science in Human Services Administration degree. All other required coursework must have been completed prior to receiving approval to register for this course. This course builds on the knowledge and skills learned through the degree program allowing the student to demonstrate competency in translating theory into practice. The course combines traditional coursework with a field-based experience, providing direct exposure to the field of human services administration. Final products include a comprehensive project to demonstrate mastery of professional practice. After documenting the above, students will discuss and defend their project orally.

Introduction to rigorous mathematical analysis from the perspective of applications. Topics include: metric and normed spaces; convergence; completeness; continuity; Lebesgue measure theory; convergence theorems; Banach, Hilbert, Lp, and Sobolev spaces; orthogonality, bases, and projections; Sturm-Liouville theory; spectral theory; distributions; and weak solutions. Applications including to differential and integral equations, are presented throughout. Knowledge of real analysis is required, or graduate level introductory courses in mathematical physics or applied mathematics should be taken prior to taking this course.

Investigations of graduate-level problems or topics in Integrated Applied Mathematics. May be repeated barring duplication of subject.
