Central to this mission is preparing students for a profession dedicated to assisting individuals, groups, families, communities, and organizations in their quest for well-being. The program is committed to teaching students to work for the development of a society which promotes equality, social justice, respect for human diversity, and adequate sustenance for all its members. The program seeks to train and encourage its students to be active, personally and professionally, in taking leadership roles in addressing social problems and challenging social, economic, and environmental injustice. The program is committed to developing students&#8217; skills in culturally competent social work practice, research, social service and social policy formation, and political advocacy in order to further this mission.<\/p>\n<h4>About the Major<\/h4>\n<p>The Social Work major is offered by the School of Social Science<br \/>\nand Human Services and leads to a Bachelor of Social Work (B.S.W.) degree.<br \/>\nIn addition to preparing students for beginning generalist social work practice,<br \/>\nthe program also provides preparation for graduate social work education.
