Program Overview
WHY A Bachelor of Social Work
A BSW is a Bachelor of Social Work degree that prepares you for a career in social work or related fields, or to continue your education. Social work is the helping profession that promotes social change and development, social cohesion, and the empowerment and liberation of people. With a BSW, you can work in entry-level, non-clinical positions in social services, such as child welfare specialists, substance use counselors, case managers, and social welfare assistants.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Bachelor of Social Work Program at GSU reflects a richly diverse student population with age, race/ethnicity, gender, community identification, and socio-economic status. A large majority of our students are working as well as managing the demands of family. We work with students to develop a Plan of Study that maps out the completion of academic requirements, but that also considers the context of their lives.
Our program emphasizes social justice, critical thinking, reflective practice, experiential and service learning, advocacy, self-care, professional development, and leadership, as well as providing collaborative learning opportunities between community practitioners/constituents and students. These opportunities take the form of guest speakers, forums, symposiums, visits to communities, events, and more.
