Social workers provide a variety of services to individuals, families, groups, and communities across the United States. They work in family and child service agencies, hospitals, schools, criminal justice agencies, nursing homes, and other places, providing intervention, resources, assessment and evaluation, and counseling services. If you want to enter this challenging but rewarding field, the U’s Social Work (BSW) program will provide you with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills you need to be a professional in the helping professions. Students in the program complete coursework in the following areas: human behavior and social environment, social work as a profession, social diversity and cultural understanding, research and evaluation, and welfare policy, as well as courses to demonstrate skills through practice. In preparation for professional practice, students also complete a supervised internship, called practicum, in the field.
