Curriculum

The BSW program curriculum is organized around eight foundation areas of study: Human behavior and the Social Environment, Social Welfare Policy, Social Work Practice, Social Work Research, Field Internship, Social Work Values and Ethics, Diversity, and Populations-at-Risk/Social and Economic Justice. These eight areas build upon a liberal arts base to provide social work knowledge, values, skills, and supervised experience in generalist practice. These areas of study provide social work students with the necessary competencies to perform at the entry level of generalist social work practice. The curriculum consists of general education requirements, pre-requisites in the liberal arts and sciences, social work core (classroom and field) courses, and social work and social science electives. The following is a visual representation of the building blocks of the curriculum design.

*NOTE: Other social work requirements include 6 hours of social work electives and 6 hours of upper level social sciences. See the following pages for course pre-requisites.
