Social work is a profession for those who find fulfillment and
reward in making a difference in the everyday lives of individuals.
Specifically, social workers help those in need of critical resources
including: medical and mental health services, income maintenance, child
welfare and protection, domestic violence intervention, and assistance for the
elderly. Social work also offers the opportunity to improve the community
and make it a better place to live. The bachelors of social work
(BSW) prepares students as generalist practitioners for entry-level
professional practice.
