Social work is an exciting and dynamic profession whose practitioners take pride in helping others.
Graduates will be able to serve in a variety of social work roles including direct practice with clients, advocacy, and program and policy development. Graduates of the UW-Green Bay social work program secure positions in programs serving populations that include the elderly, children and their families, persons challenged by developmental and other disabilities, juvenile and adult offenders, persons experiencing mental or physical health issues, and other groups identified in this ever evolving field. The social work professional program has full accreditation from the Council on Social Work Education. A B.S.W. from UW-Green Bay allows the graduate to obtain state certification and provides a broad range of employment opportunities. Majors may elect to enroll in the child welfare sequence, preparing for a career in child welfare practice.
