All Wake Tech campuses are closed Monday, March 16, 2026, due to forecasts of severe weather. Although the college is on spring break, many non-degree classes are still held this week. Students taking non-degree classes in person should check with their instructors for more information. Online non-degree classes continue as scheduled. Many Wake Tech student services, including Admissions and Advising, are available online at virtualsupport.waketech.edu. Wake Tech employees who can work remotely should do so.
The Social & Human Services Technology AAS Degree prepares students for entry-level positions in institutions and agencies that provide social, community and educational services. Students are also prepared for further study in social work and human services.
Students take courses in a variety of disciplines. Emphasis in core courses is placed on the development of relevant knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for effective social and human services work. Fieldwork experience provides opportunities for application of knowledge and skills learned in the classroom.
