Undergraduate Degrees
The purpose of the social work major is to prepare students for entry level generalist practice in social work. This is a professional program of study which is strongly grounded for the first two years in liberal arts.
The second two years focus on the professional curriculum. The program prepares students for work with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.
