The baccalaureate social work program at Fordham offers a solid foundation of social work theory and practice skills to undergraduate students who have completed the core courses of a liberal arts program at Fordham or another undergraduate institution. Students admitted to the social work major have the exciting opportunity to take their social work classes along with graduate students at the Foundation level of the MSW program. The field work component is a two semester internship in a social work agency under supervision. The social work major includes thirty-three credits and may be completed in three full semesters plus a summer or in four full semesters.
Individual advisors offer personalized guidance throughout completion of the major.
The program prepares graduates for employment as generalist practitioners in human services agencies. The program is in candidacy status with the Council on Social Work Education for accreditation. Graduates are qualified to apply for Advanced Standing in Fordham's MSW program or other graduate social work schools. Carol Cohen, DSW, is the Director of the Bachelors in Social Work Program.
