Overview

Social workers make a difference in a complicated world. Winston-Salem State University’s degree for social workers equips you to help people and communities cope with problems such as abuse, addiction, homelessness and illness. We know that solving these types of societal concerns requires special skills and knowledge.

What You Can Do With Your Social Work Bachelor’s

Your Bachelor of Social Work degree provides a solid foundation that makes you competitive in the job market. The communication, critical thinking and problem-solving skills that you develop at WSSU apply to a variety of settings. A degree for social workers from WSSU will ensure you’re well-prepared to use your skills within organizations that strive to improve social conditions in their communities. Some of these potential job titles include:

Caseworker
Community Outreach Worker
Human Services Specialist
Mental Health Assistant
Residential Case Manager

Alternatively, you can seek licensure and advance your studies beyond our Bachelor of Social Work programs by earning a Master of Social Work degree. We are proud that the majority of WSSU social work majors who apply to MSW programs earn “advanced standing,” which enables them to complete their MSW in one year instead of two.
