Overview

The Social Work BSW degree offered by The University of Vermont is structured for interactive classroom discussion. You will actively engage with the course material through case studies, simulated exercises, role play, presentations, and more. Throughout the program, you will meet social workers who work in a variety of roles, and you will have a variety of opportunities for service learning in community-based social work settings.

In this program, students and faculty work together closely to further understand the complexities of the profession and strategize ways to address and express our commitment to making a difference on local, national and global levels.

During your junior and senior years, you’ll be in a “cohort model” of education, where students progress through their academic program together. You will take your social work courses together as a group.
