Welcome
The Department of Social Work Education offers two degrees: a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Social Work and a Master (MSW) of Social Work.
The B.A. program prepares students to enter supervised professional social work practice and/or pursue admission to a range of graduate study programs and professional schools. This includes graduate study in social work leading to a master's in social work.
The MSW program prepares students for advanced, autonomous social work practice, which includes intervening at the individual, family, small group, organization, and community levels. Students achieve competence in problem identification, assessment, development of intervention plans, and evaluation of practice. The program provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide direct services, consultation, training, program development, practice evaluation, and social service research on behalf of clients and community.
Social work is a profession committed to enhancing, promoting, and improving the well-being of individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Social workers are committed to social justice, consumer empowerment, and cultural awareness in working with diverse people and groups. Social workers are found in a broad range of settings, including physical and mental health, child welfare, corrections, alcohol and drug abuse, and social welfare services and programs.
Both the bachelor's and master's degree programs are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education.
