Students graduating from the program are eligible for state licensing.
The objectives of the Social Work Program are designed to educate the professional entry level social worker. This means that students graduating from GCC with a Bachelor of Social Work degree are prepared with the knowledge, skills, values, and ethics of the profession to enter any social work setting as an employee and assume beginning social worker responsibilities. Students graduating from the program may apply for advanced standing status in Master of Social Work programs at universities accepting such status. From these five foundation areas, you will plan your curriculum from a wide range of courses. Because the sequencing of courses in the Social Work Program is very specific, and particular liberal arts courses are required as part of the major, students are required to meet with the Chairperson upon beginning their academic career at Georgian Court College.
