Overview

Social Work of Delaware State University was granted full accreditation status by the national professional accrediting agency, the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), in 1982 and Reaffirmation of Accredited Status in 1990 and 1998. Currently, the BSW Program’s Reaffirmation of Accredited status continues through 2020.

The curriculum of the Social Work program of Delaware State University is designed to fulfill the program’s Mission, which is to prepare baccalaureate students for generalist practice at the entry level of the profession. Upon graduating from the BSW program at Delaware State University, students are prepared to demonstrate the knowledge, values and skills integrated in the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) competencies and behaviors when working in diverse practice settings with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. The BSW curriculum is grounded in the Department of Social Work’s five underpinnings.

Students are provided individual advisement by the social work faculty from time of contact through graduation. All care is taken to ensure that student career goals and objectives are in congruence with the objectives of the social work program and the profession. No credit is given for prior field of life experiences. Students are encouraged to participate in student organizations of the department and University and with affiliated professional organizations.

The Baccalaureate Social Work Program at Delaware State University prepares individuals to become professional social workers. The social work profession values integrity, service, human relationships, dignity and worth of the person and justice. We are a nationally accredited program through the Council of Social Work Education.
