The Bachelor of Social Work degree program was launched in 2009 in response to the growing need for social workers in South Carolina. Since then, our four-year program has grown to nearly 200 students, and we graduate about 50 students each year.

Our program prepares you for a satisfying career serving individuals, families and communities. The Bachelor of Social Work curriculum grounds you in a liberal arts education and provides the values, skills, knowledge and competencies necessary for generalist social work practice. As a social work major, you can expect to develop skills in community organizing, diversity, social justice, networking, interviewing, multitasking, case management and grant-writing. You will also be able to gain hands-on experience in the field through service-learning that is integrated into academic coursework.

A major in social work can prepare you for careers in:

• School social work
• Counseling
• Case management
• Youth counseling
• Community organization
