Four primary goals of the Social Work program incorporate specific program objectives that ensure that graduates gain the professional foundation necessary for competent professional practice with diverse populations by Teaching Knowledge, Shaping Practice, and Sending Professionals into the Community. Program objectives conform to the Educational Standards of the Council on Social Work Education.
The Social Work program prepares students to be leaders in service to the community through generalist practice. A career in Social Work offers a wide range of opportunities, including direct practice in social work with families, individuals or community-based organizations, as well as jobs in research, public relations, human services, probation and criminal justice, social welfare, counseling, or health care administration.
All classes required for the major must be completed with a grade of “C” (2.000) or above. |
