The Social Work program prepares students for careers in the helping professions and enhances the skills of persons already employed in this field. In addition, students will learn several personal/interpersonal skills needed to live healthy lives and deal with the stressful demands of daily living.
This area of service is growing in demand and the labor market statistics show it will increase by up to 20% between now and 2025. Students need to be prepared for this work as a stepping stone in their journey to becoming a Social Worker.
Students in the Social Work program interact with and provide services to the community at large and require a wide range of general knowledge about social services. They will need to adopt a range of skills and knowledge to interact effectively with agencies and family members who are intertwined with the populations they serve.
