Beschreibung des Programms

The Bachelor of Science in social work is a generalist professional degree rooted in the values of service and social justice. With a bachelor’s degree, social workers can practice with individuals, families, groups, and communities. This versatile and practical degree equips students with the theoretical and skills-based education they need to empower those who have been marginalized and oppressed.

According to the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), the primary mission of the social work profession is to enhance human well-being and help meet the basic and complex needs of all people, with a particular focus on those who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty. Social workers help relieve and alleviate people's suffering, fight for social justice, and improve lives and communities.

Upon graduation, you’ll be able to:

  • Demonstrate competency in the knowledge base and skills required for beginning social work practice
  • Move into generalist social work practice or specialized graduate studies in social work
  • Exhibit commitment to the basic values and ethics that shape social work practice rooted in a Christian perspective
  • Utilize anti-racist and anti-oppressive social work practices through cultural humility at the individual, family, group, organizational, community, research, and policy levels

There are nearly 700,000 professional social workers in the U.S. today with a bachelor's, master or doctorate in social work. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, social work is one of the fastest-growing professions in the United States. The NASW projects employment in the field will grow 16 percent by 2026.
