Program Description
The Department of Social Work is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) at the undergraduate level. This assures that the curriculum and faculty meet established national standards. The degree in social work from an accredited educational institution is a prerequisite to apply for the Ohio social work license, effective October 1992.
The Bachelor of Arts program in social work prepares students for beginning employment in social work or for graduate study. Students considering social work as a career should be interested in people of widely varying ages, abilities, and backgrounds; they need to be disciplined, emotionally stable, and intellectually creative. Social workers typically find employment in family services, children’s services, public schools, hospitals, mental health centers, and probation and parole boards. While most social workers perform direct practice duties, others are employed as outreach workers, community organizers, and administrators in public, voluntary, and for-profit agencies. Newer fields are also opening up for social workers, such as services to the aged.
