The interdisciplinary curriculum demonstrates concerns for social justice, racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity, and women's issues. Social Work majors should complete a Psychology minor to better prepare them for the licensing exam and to improve their preparation should they later decide to enroll in graduate school. A major in Social Work prepares students for beginning social work and for graduate professional education.
Field work prepares students for employment in entry-level social work practice.
Placements include local hospitals, children's protective service agencies, extended care facilities, social welfare agencies, mentally retarded and mental health service agencies.
