The Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) Program is a professional program that prepares students for immediate entry into direct human service professional positions, graduate-level education, and life-long learning. BSW-level social workers assist individuals, families, small groups, organizations, and communities to effectively resolve problems, deal with their relationships, and function optimally within their environment. Graduates are employed in many different settings, including nursing homes, hospices, hospitals, home care agencies, family service agencies, children and youth services, aging services, residential treatment programs, domestic violence shelters, criminal justice agencies, schools, and legal services agencies.

The Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program is offered in two modalities: on campus and online. Students should understand that there are different expectations, processes, and policies for each modality and should confer with an advisor before determining which to apply to. This program also requires an application for admission to the professional phase of the program. At the point of application, students must select a program modality. Upon admittance, students will be required to finish the program in the modality selected at the point of admission. Only extenuating circumstances will be considered for a modality change and any requests will need approval by the undergraduate Program Director and will be communicated to the Office of Student Services.
