Social Work

MSU's Bachelor of Social Work program (BSW) is a community of social work teachers, scholars and learners dedicated to strengthening and enhancing individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities. We promote academic excellence, student success and community engagement with evidence-based practice to prepare our students for generalist practice. The BSW program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), a national professional social work education standard-setting body.

You can complete a BSW on any of MSU's four campuses: Mt. Sterling, Morehead, Ashland or Prestonsburg. The curriculum is delivered through a mix of face-to-face and online courses. The Ashland, Mt. Sterling, and Prestonsburg campuses offer classes one day a week. The Morehead campus typically offers classes two days a week. These options allow for flexibility in schedule and classroom interaction with professors and other students. Our model ensures that students can practice the profession and process their learning experience with guidance and interaction from professors and fellow students.

We also offer a minor in social work and will soon be accepting applications for a new Master of Social Work degree.
