Admission to the BSW program is on a selective basis and is determined by academic preparation. Students desiring to apply for admission to the social work major must submit an application obtained at the department office prior to declaring social work as their major. Field placement is an important and required component of the BSW program. It provides students with opportunities to learn both in the classroom and in community programs that serve a wide range of human needs. Students work with experienced social service personnel in these placements as they learn the hands-on skills of working with individuals, families, small groups, communities, and organizations.
Students are an active and integral aspect of the program.
The department has an excellent Faculty , representing a wide range of professional experience, teaching, and research interests which allow students to pursue their academic, professional, and personal interests.
