Contact Professor Susan Dennison , School Social Work Licensure Program Coordinator, for more information about this program. The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that social work will be one of the fastest growing professions in the 21st century. Our undergraduate program prepares students to become beginning level generalist social workers. Our graduates work with people to improve their interaction with their environments. They work as case managers, counselors, advocates, and community educators.
Students learn to work with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.
Our research, conducted annually, indicates that the great majority of our graduates are employed as social workers within 6 months of graduation. Some undergraduate students are selected each year to work with faculty on social work research. All students conduct research as part of their course work. Graduates can apply, under North Carolina law, to be Licensed Baccalaureate Social Workers. The social work faculty are committed to excellence in teaching, research, and service to the public.
