Social Work

Overview

Let’s talk about the long term. Upon graduation from the Social Work you’ll have acquired the skills and knowledge and a year of practice experience to immediately enter into generalist professional practice. So, how do you get there? 

Everything that you learn will be centered around the Council on Social Work Education’s (CSWE) nine competencies. They include: demonstrating professional behavior, advancing human rights, using practice-informed research and research-informed practice, and engaging with a diverse range of people.

What makes Concordia University Wisconsin unique? Simple. Their philosophy of education. They believe that Christian service, quality research, and hands-on learning are the best ingredients for your growth as a competent professional. You’ll learn comprehensive methods in providing support and counsel to individuals, families, and groups, communities and organizations in need.

Program format

To better serve the students, they have two types of BSW program formats and admission processes.

The traditional undergraduate program is for a student who is looking for an academic experience on campus and during the day. 

The accelerated program is offered online to offer flexibility for students who are working or looking for a non-traditional format. Currently, this program format is offered 100% online or at our Accelerated Learn Centers in Milwaukee (Miller Park Way Center), Kenosha and Green Bay. 

What to expect

Your classes will consist of understanding human behavior, policy, ethics, the use of theory in practice, research and how to build relationships with individuals, families, groups, communities and organizations. Guess what? That is exactly what you’ll be further developing  through your field experience/internship. 

This significant requirement helps you prepare for your first professional position by allowing you to apply your knowledge, values and skills in a real-world setting. Our faculty will give you the tools needed for generalist, social work practice within the context of faith, service to others, and social justice.
