Many jobs require a college educated individual.
College graduates can use their education in a wide variety of occupations. A Social Work education allows students to work with people in situations where there have been negative interactions between clients and the systems in their environment. Such interactions often have detrimental effects upon the social functioning of individuals, families, groups, organizations, communities, and larger systems. As social workers, graduates may work to provide services to children and youth, the elderly, minorities, or women. Such services are provided in social service departments, nursing homes, residential facilities, mental health centers, schools, and health-care facilities.
