The social work profession is an exciting field of study and practice with countless career possibilities. We invite you to join our community during this critical time as we work to address complex issues such as poverty, social and economic disparities, health, mental health, housing, race, gender, and environmental justice, and the overall well-being of societies. We need professionally trained social workers to make a positive difference in the lives of individuals and communities. A degree in social work will prepare you to address local, state, national, and global issues through healing-centered, empowerment, and justice practice approaches, among others.<br><br>The BSW program, which is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), prepares you for beginning a professional generalist social work practice. A generalist approach requires that social workers have a foundation of knowledge and skills to engage, critically analyze, plan, evaluate, and support individuals and communities from diverse backgrounds in diverse settings and systems. In addition, as part of a professional undergraduate degree program, students in their senior year complete an internship in a non-profit organization or a health, education, or government institution. The program combines a comprehensive curriculum with practical experience in the community so future social workers wishing to work with individuals, families, groups, and communities have the tools needed to create positive change.
