Description
The Social Work BSW program prepares students for generalist practice, focusing on understanding social work values, ethics and professional behavior. The BSW curriculum is designed to create explicit linkages between practice, policy and research. We prepare our students to be both consumers of, and contributors to, research efforts that aim to build knowledge and improve social work practice. Utilizing a generalist lens, students obtain the knowledge and skill to work with individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities. Our program also helps students explore historical oppression, structural and social inequality, and work toward navigating complex systems so they can better empower their clients and communities to reduce their experiences of oppression and institutional violence.
