Social Work is a fast-growing profession and our BASW provides students with the opportunity to truly engage in and learn about how to affect change within and across systems. Social work professionals are employed in schools, hospitals, criminal justice systems, community-based non-profits, state child welfare agencies, city government, faith-based organizations, and higher education, just to name a few.
Times are tumultuous, and 2020 has brought challenges like never before. From a public health crisis to movements against social injustice, communities are in critical need of continued support. Social workers aim to provide that support by offering services to improve overall safety and well-being.
