Department of Social Work
The Social Work Department offers the B.S. in Social Work and the Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. The M.S.W. program offers five concentrations: gerontology, non-profit management, child and family welfare, alcohol and substance abuse, and forensic social work. In addition the Department offers the Minor in Social Work for non-social work majors who wish to broaden their skills in social policies, public services and human behavior. Classroom instruction and internship placements are led by a faculty who are locally and nationally recognized for their scholarly contributions to social justice and improving the human condition. Field work in varied settings, including schools, homeless shelters, child and family counseling centers, charitable organizations, senior citizen facilities, and social service agencies enhances academic learning and allows you to make a real impact on a multi-cultural society. Social Work as a profession is an exciting growth area that offers professional flexibility and personal satisfaction.
