Program Overview

The B.A. Social Work Major from Ohio University, offered through Honors Tutorial College students complete a 4-year program resulting in a degree of Bachelor of Arts in Social Work (B.A.S.W.) from the Honors Tutorial College. The B.A.S.W. degree qualifies students to take Ohio’s L.S.W. licensure exam or the equivalent in other states.
With this degree, students have the opportunity to be accepted into a one-year Advanced Standing program at any university to earn a Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) degree. The M.S.W. degree qualifies students to take the L.I.S.W. licensure exam in Ohio or the equivalent in other states. These licenses are vital keys to career opportunities in the profession.

The program provides students with:

a core of social work practice knowlege and skills through a series of courses and tutorials;
the requisite skills to critically analyze and address social problems from a theoretical and practical perspective;
the opportunity to apply theory to practice in social service internships; and
guidance through the process of conducting a research study on a topic of their choice that will lead to the completion of a thesis.

Opportunities Upon Graduation

A bachelors degree in social work with the L.S.W. licensure prepares graduates to pursue advanced degrees and a wide range of career opportunities. Most of our students continue to graduate school to earn the Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) degree and gain the L.I.S.W. licensure.
Ohio University graduates have been accepted to top ranked Schools of Social Work such as University of Michigan, Ohio State University, George Warren Brown School of Social Work at Washington University, Tulane University, and the University of Pittsburgh.
