The BSW program is acclaimed as one of the most affordable bachelor programs in social work and the demand for social workers is growing much faster than average job growth.  Our BSW program includes courses parallel to those taught in our nationally ranked Master’s of Social Work Program.

We have nationally and internationally recognized faculty who are leading scholars in many areas of social work and social welfare. You’ll find that we are not just educators but mentors, advocates, and partners in your journey. Our collective goal is to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to go out and help with today’s social issues and to empower you to be agents of positive change.

I am excited to see the contributions you will make and the change you will effect in your time here and beyond.
