Overview

The Social Work Program prepares you for generalist practice through a combination of innovative, hands-on classroom study and practical field experience. Field experience at area social agencies provides you with opportunities to apply your knowledge and is invaluable to developing entry-level skills as a social worker.

The School of Social Work has grown to include a dual-degree program (sociology and social work major), a Master of Social Work graduate degree program, five convenient satellite program locations and a fully online master’s program. All programs are fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, a must for earning social work licensure.
