Overview

The Social Work course from East Tennessee State University is nestled in the southern Appalachian mountains bordering North Carolina and Virginia. We view ourselves as a regional programme collaborating with community members and service providers in northeast Tennessee, western North Carolina and southwest Virginia. The demographics of both our faculty and students are representative of this culturally rich geographic region.

Key facts

Social work may be the profession for you if you have an interest in addressing social injustice, oppression, the plight of economically disadvantaged and at-risk populations. As an undergraduate generalist programme, our goal is to build on a liberal arts foundation and equip students with the skills and knowledge for either an entry level professional position in a social agency, or further study at the graduate level.
