Social Work

Department of Social Work

The Bachelor in Social Work (BSW) prepares students who want to serve their communities. Courses prepare students for opportunities in generalist social work practice. Generalist social workers help individuals and families access services and reach their full potential. Equally important, generalist social workers advocate for social justice by using inter-personal and analytic skills so they can be effective change agents.

Courses include hands-on activities so students can apply what they are learning to real life situations. During their senior year, students have a rigorous two-days-a-week internship in an approved social service agency. This experience provides a strong background so graduates are well prepared for seeking employment.

Because the program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), graduates are eligible to apply for Advanced Standing to CSWE-accredited Masters of Social Work (MSW) program. With Advanced Standing, students can complete their MSW in one year rather than the traditional two years of study.
